Technical FAQs 4

What is a thin-film solar cell?

Thin-film solar cell, type of device that is designed to convert light energy into electrical energy (through the photovoltaic effect) and is composed of micron-thick photon-absorbing material layers deposited over a flexible substrate. Learn more about thin-film solar cells in this article.

How do thin film solar cells work?

Thin film solar cells work on the same basic principle as other solar cells: they convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown: Absorption of sunlight: The thin film layer absorbs sunlight, which excites electrons in the material.

Are thin-film solar cells better than traditional solar panels?

Their efficiency typically ranges from 15% to 22%. On the other hand, thin-film solar cells have lower efficiency, usually 10% to 12%, although some advanced thin-film technologies like CIGS or perovskite cells can reach efficiencies of 13% to 18%. Thin-film solar cells are much thinner and lighter than traditional panels.

What is a thin-film module?

This technology is highly flexible, durable, lightweight, and has excellent indoor and low-light performance. Thin-film modules are made by depositing a-Si onto a flexible polyimide substrate using proprietary roll to roll vacuum deposition and monolithic interconnect systems.
