Customer ServiceIn this survey, the thin film solar cells are broken down into two categories: classic and innovative technology. A contrast is shown between the many kinds of thin-film solar cells that have been created to improve efficiency. We will explore the major aspects of the different models.
When compared to Silicon cells, the absorber layer of thin-film solar cells is much smaller, measuring between one and two micrometers. And because of the thinness, it faces the problem of absorbing the maximum amount of incident photons. Several light-trapping methods are and can be implemented in the CZTS solar cells to resolve the issue.
Several universities/research institutes/industry in India and abroad are involved in the research area of thin-film solar cells. The book helps the readers to find the details about different thin-film technologies and its advancement at one place.
