2. Thin-film solar cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-film_solar_cell

   Thin-film solar cells, a second generation of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells: Top: thin-film silicon laminates being installed onto a roof. Middle: CIGS solar cell on a flexible plastic backing and rigid CdTe panels mounted on a supporting structure Bottom: thin-film laminates on rooftops Thin-film solar cells are a type of solar cell made by depositing one or more thin layers (thin films or ...

3. Cadmium telluride photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Cadmium_telluride_photovoltaics

   Cadmium telluride PV is the only thin film technology with lower costs than conventional solar cells made of crystalline silicon in multi-kilowatt systems. [1] [2] [3] On a lifecycle basis, CdTe PV has the smallest carbon footprint, lowest water use and shortest energy payback time of any current photovoltaic technology.

6. List of photovoltaics companies - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_photovoltaics...

   Monocrystalline solar cell This is a list of notable photovoltaics (PV) companies. Grid-connected solar photovoltaics (PV) is the fastest growing energy technology in the world, growing from a cumulative installed capacity of 7.7 GW in 2007, to 320 GW in 2016. In 2016, 93% of the global PV cell manufacturing capacity utilizes crystalline silicon (cSi) technology, representing a commanding lead ...

7. Solar cell research - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell_research

   Thin-film photovoltaic cells can use less than 1% of the expensive raw material (silicon or other light absorbers) compared to wafer-based solar cells, leading to a significant price drop per Watt peak capacity. There are many research groups around the world actively researching different thin-film approaches and/or materials. [4]

8. Solar cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell

   Amorphous silicon is the most well-developed thin film technology to-date. An amorphous silicon (a-Si) solar cell is made of non-crystalline or microcrystalline silicon. Amorphous silicon has a higher bandgap (1.7 eV) than crystalline silicon (c-Si) (1.1 eV), which means it absorbs the visible part of the solar spectrum more strongly than the ...

9. Carbon nanotubes in photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_nanotubes_in...

   Organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) are fabricated from thin films of organic semiconductors, such as polymers and small-molecule compounds, and are typically on the order of 100 nm thick. Because polymer based OPVs can be made using a coating process such as spin coating or inkjet printing, they are an attractive option for inexpensively ...
