7. Thin Film PV Materials
 Amorphous Silicon • Copper Indium Gallium
– A non-crystalline form Diselenide (CIGS)
of silicon, like glass – Highest efficiency at 19.9%
– Deposited directly onto a range (NREL)
of rigid and flexible materials – High absorption coefficient
– Inexpensive, but lower efficiency and current density
(unless equipped to capture a – Long-term reliability
wide variety of light streams) – Multi-junction
 Copper Indium Diselenide (CIS) • Cadmium Telluride (CdTe)
– Very high absorption
– Can be alloyed with Zinc,
Mercury, & others to vary its
characteristics and performance
– Ideal band-gap & active R&D
