Thin-film solar cells are a type of solar cell made by depositing one or more thin layers (thin films or TFs) of photovoltaic material onto a substrate, such as glass, plastic or metal. In 1970,team atcreated the first gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells, later winning the 2000 Nobel prize in. With the advances in conventional(c-Si) technology in recent years, and the falling cost of thefeedstock, that followed after a. Despite initially lower efficiencies at the time of their introduction, many thin-film technologies have efficiencies comparable to conventional single.
