Rehab Ceramic materials for thin film solar cells
Slide 2
What is thin film solar cell? Solar cell: electrical device
used to convert energy of light into electricity Thin film solar
cell/ thin-film photovoltaic cell : -part of solar cells -
depositing one or more thin layers of photovoltaic material on a
basement.
Slide 3
Why it is important? New technology which contribute to produce
energy. Depends on sun which is renewable source Save environment
clean beside producing needed energy. Costs less than other solar
cells
Slide 4
How did it start? It started as small strips powering hand-
held calculators. Large size, different kind building and
structures Large size, vehicle charging systems.
Slide 5
Types of solar cells Monocrystalline cells polycrystalline
cells Thin-film solar cell Amorphous silicon (a-Si) Cadmium
telluride (CdTe) Copper indium gallium deselenide (CIGS)
Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC)
Slide 6
Monocrystalline solar cells made out of silicon ingots lowe
costs Polycrystalline Silicon Solar Cells Raw silicon is melted
poured into a square mold
Slide 7
Thin-Film Solar Cells (TFSC) widely available The efficiency
not high low cost per Watt
Slide 8
Typical Applications in thin film solar cell Solar Street
Lights Telecommunication System
