The controlled synthesis of materials as thin films, which is a process referred to as deposition is a fundamental step in many applications. Nowadays, the synthesis of new materials for developing highly efficient thin-films solar cells is currently one of the scientific research challenges.
The three major thin film solar cell technologies include amorphous silicon (α-Si), copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), and cadmium telluride (CdTe). In this paper, the evolution of each technology is discussed in both laboratory and commercial settings, and market share and reliability are equally explored.
In 1981, Mickelsen and Chen demonstrated a 9.4% efficient thin-film CuInSe2/CdS solar cell. The efficiency improvement was due to the difference in the method of evaporating the two selenide layers. The films were deposited with fixed In and Se deposition rates, and the Cu rate was adjusted to achieve the desired composition and resistivity.
CIGS and CdTe hold the greatest promise for the future of thin film. Longevity, reliability, consumer confidence and greater investments must be established before thin film solar cells are explored on building integrated photovoltaic systems. 1. Introduction
Because of its absorber layer's high absorption coefficient and widespread use in the solar energy industry, thin-film solar cells have a high absorption rate. This increases conversion efficiency while enabling a significant cost and material thickness decrease.
Kazmerski et al. , in 1976, created the first thin film CIGS solar cell having a conversion efficiency of 4.5%. The structure of the CIGS is given in Fig. 7, with soda lime glass as the substrate. On top of the glass is the molybdenum, which contacts the p-type Cu (InGa)Se 2.
