Fabrication of nc-Si Single-Junction Thin-Film Solar Cells on Flexible Aluminium Substrates

Thin-film solar cells are second-generation solar cells and they are gaining more traction than the first-generation c-Si solar cells. This is due to the advantages they have over conventional solar cells. The advantages are that they are lightweight, flexible, cheaper and also have better aesthetics than conventional solar cells. Thin-film...

Optimisation of a-Si:H/μc-Si:H Tandem Solar Cell on Flexible Al Substrates: Use of Modelling for Cell Design and Performance Predictions

The future of our energy supply cannot continue to depend on the use of exhaustible fossil fuels. The successful transition to a society powered by renewable energy sources is one of the major challenges our current generation faces. Renewable systems will only fully establish themselves if high conversion efficiencies can be obtained at a...
