Solar Photovoltaic Cell Basics
SiliconThin-Film PhotovoltaicsPerovskite PhotovoltaicsOrganic PhotovoltaicsA thin-film solar cell is made by depositing one or more thin layers of PV material on a supporting material such as glass, plastic, or metal. There are two main types of thin-film PV semiconductors on the market today: cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium diselenide(CIGS). Both materials can be deposited directly onto either the fron...See more on energy.govchuenerovers [PDF]
