  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 (CdTe) photovoltaics is a photovoltaic (PV) technology based on the use of cadmium telluride in a thin semiconductor layer designed to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity. [1] Cadmium telluride PV is the only thin film technology with lower costs than conventional solar cells made of crystalline silicon in multi ...

  4. Multi-junction solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-junction_solar_cell

    There are four main categories of photovoltaic cells: conventional mono- and poly-crystalline silicon (c-Si) cells, thin film solar cells (a-Si, CIGS and CdTe), and multi-junction (MJ) solar cells. The fourth category, emerging photovoltaics , contains technologies that are still in the research or development phase and are not listed in the ...

    Other promising materials and technologies for indoor photovoltaics include thin-film materials, III-V light harvesters, organic photovoltaics (OPV), dye-sensitized solar cells and perovskite solar cells. Thin-film materials, specifically CdTe, have displayed good performance under low light and diffuse conditions, with a band gap of 1.5 eV. [6]

  6. 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 ...

  8. Quantum dot solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_dot_solar_cell

    In a conventional solar cell light is absorbed by a semiconductor, producing an electron-hole (e-h) pair; the pair may be bound and is referred to as an exciton.This pair is separated by an internal electrochemical potential (present in p-n junctions or Schottky diodes) and the resulting flow of electrons and holes creates an electric current.
