Thin-film solar panels use a 2 nd generation technology varying from the crystalline silicon (c-Si) modules, which is the most popular technology. Thin-film solar cells (TFSC) are manufactured using a single or multiple layers of PV elements over a surface comprised of a variety of glass, plastic, or metal.
What differs Thin-Film solar cells from monocrystalline and polycrystalline is that Thin-Film can be made using different materials. There are 3 types of solar Thin-Film cells: This type of Thin-Film is made from amorphous silicon (a-Si), which is a non-crystalline silicon making them much easier to produce than mono or polycrystalline solar cells.
Therefore, thin-film solar cells are generally classified according to the photovoltaic material used. According to these criteria, the following types of thin-film photovoltaic cells are found. Color-sensitive solar cells (DSC) and other organic solar cells. Cadmium telluride is the most advanced thin-film technology.
Thin-film photovoltaic (TFPV) cells arean upgraded version of the 1st Gen solar cells, incorporating multiple thin PV layers in the mix instead of the single one in its predecessor. These layers are around 300 times more delicate compared to a standard silicon panel and are also known as a thin-film solar cell.
Thin-film solar cells are produced through the deposition of one or more thin layers (referred to as thin films or TFs) of photovoltaic material onto a substrate.
The manufacture of thin-film modules therefore differs fundamentally from the manufacture of silicon-based technology. Solar modules with already interconnected cells are processed instead of individual cells. The contact surfaces, absorber and additional intermediate layers are deposited on large glass panes in integrated processes.
