A review of thin film solar cell technologies and challenges
In 1978, Wilson [6] used the MIS or Schottky diode structure (Fig. 3) instead of the p-i-n, which led to 4.8% efficiency.The Schottky barrier α-Si solar cell is constructed with a metal-to-N junction rather than a p-n semiconductor junction [6].Schottky barrier α-Si solar cells incorporate a thin, yet highly doped, p-type α-Si, between a Schottky barrier …
A review on the improvement in performance of CdTe/CdS thin-film solar cells …
In this journey of developing more efficient CdTe thin-film solar cells, many studies failed to optimize the cost, which is likely to be the biggest challenge in commercializing CdTe solar cells.
