Flexibility: Unlike rigid silicon panels, many thin-film solar cells can be made flexible. This allows for integration into curved surfaces, portable devices, and even clothing. Lightweight: The thinness of these solar cells makes them much lighter than traditional panels.
Because the technology for thin-film solar panels has been around for decades, there are multiple different types of thin-film solar panels in use today, and each has its own pros and cons.
Thin film solar panels, also called thin film photovoltaic solar panels, are made by depositing one or more layers of photovoltaic material onto a substrate like glass, plastic, or metal. These layers are incredibly slim, around 1 micron (1µm) compared to 300 microns in traditional silicon wafers.
Thin film technology comes in several variants, each designed for specific needs, from handheld gadgets to utility-scale solar farms. Below is a detailed look at the most popular types used in 2025: This is the oldest and most basic type of thin film solar cell.
