Fortnightly seminars online: Progress and Prospects for thin film photovoltaic technology by Prof. Shahzada Ahmad

Progress and Prospects for thin film photovoltaic technology Thin film solar cells are competitive PV technology as their thickness are over 10 times lower than conventional solar cells, while they can efficiently convert solar energy into electricity. Low materials usage will enabling material cost reduction, ease of processing and reduction in defects. Current challenges will be addressed for the fabrication of thin film solar cells, quality of absorber layers and nanoscale engineering  to ensure efficient charge collection.
