Thin-film solar technology includes many features that make it unique for particular applications that are not suited for traditional c-Si PV modules. There are many popular thin-film solar technologies available in the market, including Gallium Arsenide (GaAs), Cadmium Telluride (CdTe), and others, with new ones being researched and developed.
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.
The concept of utilizing thin films in solar technology dates back several decades, with researchers initially focusing on alternative materials and fabrication techniques to overcome the limitations of conventional crystalline silicon solar cells.
