- Short description of contents:
- The state of the art of the second-generation of solar cells based on the CdTe and CuInGaSe2 thin film
technology will be described. This type of cells reached, on laboratory scale, photovoltaic conversion
efficiencies respectively of 16.5% and 20.3% very close to those obtained with bulk materials. In particular,
the materials, the layer sequences and deposition techniques used for the preparation of these two absorbers
are described. Particular emphasis will be placed on major innovations that have enabled us to achieve high
efficiencies with polycrystalline materials, showing how thin-film technology is mature enough to be
transferred to industrial production. Finally, we will discuss about a project of technology-transfer developed
at Parma University for the production of photovoltaic modules at an industrial level. In the near future, with
our process, Arendi S.p.A. will reach a productivity of 18 MW/year.
