Materials and Architectures for Thin-Film Photovoltaics

Wednesday, October 19, 2011: 12:30 PM
L100 J (Minneapolis Convention Center)

Description:
Thin film photovoltaic devices are expected to have significant cost advantages over thick film devices. The primary thin film technologies are based on CdTe, CIGS, dye-sensitized TiO2, and amorphous and polycrystalline Si. Correct choice of materials, and design of architectures, is critical to obtaining high efficience photovoltaic devices.
