Thin-Film Solar Cell (TFSC) or Thin-Film Photovoltaic Cells (TFPV) technology is made by depositing one or several thin layers of photovoltaic material in a substrate. Photovoltaic material is deposited into the substrate with the help of these different types of solar cells Amorphous silicon (a-Si), Cadmium telluride (CdTe), and Copper indium gallium selenide (CIS/CIGS). Thin-Film module prototypes of the Solar Cell Efficiency are approximately 7 ~ 13% and production modules operate at about 9%. A TFSC or TFPV can be applied a mass production. Many thin-film solar cell types are still early in the research and testing stages.
