HOME / Solar thin film photovoltaic power generation - CAPTURED ENERGY SOLAR (PTY) LTDThin-film solar panels are manufactured using materials that are strong light absorbers, suitable for solar power generation. 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).
LCOE modeling: CdTe $38 to $65/MWh; CIGS high $50s; perovskite/Si $40 to $45/MWh. Thin-film photovoltaics offer pathways to scalable, low-cost, and unconventional applications of solar energy. The established thin-film technologies include amorphous silicon (a -Si), cadmium telluride (CdTe), and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS).
Several types of thin-film solar cells are widely used because of their relatively low cost and their efficiency in producing electricity. Cadmium telluride thin-film solar cells are the most common type available. They are less expensive than the more standard silicon thin-film cells.
And the current high interest in hybrid-perovskites has again opened the technology playing field. Thin-film PV remains part of the global solar markets—and can have major roles in the next generation of solar electricity required for the 100% renewable energy future .
