    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/wiki/Cadmium_telluride...

    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.

  4. Copper indium gallium selenide solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_indium_gallium...

    A copper indium gallium selenide solar cell (or CIGS cell, sometimes CI(G)S or CIS cell) is a thin-film solar cell used to convert sunlight into electric power. It is manufactured by depositing a thin layer of copper indium gallium selenide solid solution on glass or plastic backing, along with electrodes on the front and back to collect current.

  5. Plasmonic solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmonic_solar_cell

    A plasmonic-enhanced solar cell, commonly referred to simply as plasmonic solar cell, is a type of solar cell (including thin-film or wafer-based cells) that converts light into electricity with the assistance of plasmons, but where the photovoltaic effect occurs in another material. [1] [2] [3]

  6. Amorphous silicon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphous_silicon

    Amorphous silicon (a-Si) is the non-crystalline form of silicon used for solar cells and thin-film transistors in LCDs. Used as semiconductor material for a-Si solar cells, or thin-film silicon solar cells, it is deposited in thin films onto a variety of flexible substrates, such as glass, metal and plastic. Amorphous silicon cells generally ...

  7. Solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell

    The production of a-Si thin film solar cells uses glass as a substrate and deposits a very thin layer of silicon by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Protocrystalline silicon with a low volume fraction of nanocrystalline silicon is optimal for high open-circuit voltage. [ 82 ]
