Abstract

The latest progress and future perspectives of thin-film photovoltaic technology are reviewed herein. This paper reviews the two thin-film solar cell technologies copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), and cadmium telluride (CdTe) and their parameter affecting them. Thin-film solar cell offers a variety of choices in term of device design, tunable property (lifetime, absorption length, conductivity) and verity substrate. Proper understanding of thin-film photovoltaic cells under various parameters like temperature, bandgap, conversion efficiency, open-circuit voltage, and short circuit current, fill factor, and thickness.
