Thin-film solar modules transform the renewable energy landscape with their lightweight design, flexibility, and cost-effective production. Unlike traditional silicon-based photovoltaics, thin-film technology enables solar energy harvesting on unconventional surfaces, from building facades to wearable electronics.
The most commonly used ones for thin-film solar technology are cadmium telluride (CdTe), copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), amorphous silicon (a-Si), and gallium arsenide (GaAs). The efficiency, weight, and other aspects may vary between materials, but the generation process is the same.
Up to now the serial interconnection using laser scribes after single deposition steps remains the standard for thin film solar modules. A panel-on-demand procedure for refinement of semi-fabricates to customized modules was proposed to allow for flexible design of building integrated thin-film photovoltaics.
The flexibility of thin-film solar cells opens avenues for innovative applications across various sectors. In building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), thin-film modules are seamlessly integrated into construction materials, enabling energy generation without compromising aesthetics.
