Shunt Hunt in Thin Film Silicon Solar Cells
Investigation, Mitigation and Optimization
Thin film silicon solar cells are a type of photovoltaic technology with the advantage of having thin layers of silicon to generate electricity. Unlike traditional crystalline silicon solar cells, which use thick silicon wafers, thin-film silicon solar cells use amorphous silicon

Processing and Characterization of Novel low bandgap Ge Alloys for PV Applications
Path towards a new generation of high-efficiency PV devices
Low-cost multijunction photovoltaic devices are the next step in the solar energy revolution. Adding a bottom junction with a low bandgap energy material through plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) processing could provide a low-cost boost in conversion efficiency.

Optical modeling and characterization of transparent conductive oxides
Implementation of thin film solar cells
To make silicon thin film solar cells attractive to the market, their efficiencies should reach the efficiencies of the dominant crystalline silicon solar cell. Therefore the search for ways to improve the efficiency of silicon thin film solar cells continues. TCO front contact l
