What is thin film solar cell? • Solar cell: electrical device used to convert energy of light into electricity • Thin film solar cell/ thin-film photovoltaic cell : -part of solar cells - depositing one or more thin layers of photovoltaic material on a basement.
Why it is important? • New technology which contribute to produce energy. • Depends on sun which is renewable source • Save environment clean beside producing needed energy. • Costs less than other solar cells
How did it start? • It started as small strips powering hand-held calculators. • Large size, different kind building and structures • Large size, vehicle charging systems.
Monocrystalline solar cells • made out of silicon ingots • lowecosts • Polycrystalline Silicon Solar Cells • Raw silicon is melted • poured into a square mold
Thin-Film Solar Cells (TFSC) • widely available • The efficiency not high • low cost per Watt
Typical Applications in thin film solar cell • Solar Street Lights • Telecommunication System
Electric power generation in space • Ocean navigation Aids • PV on buildings • Remote Monitoring and Control
