Potential Low Cost, High Efficiency Solar Photovoltaic Technology
Автор:Nowshad Amin Год: 2011 Издание:LAP Lambert Academic Publishing Страниц: 196 ISBN: 9783844307962 The development of thin-film technologies from the standpoint of high-efficiency, low-cost and environmentally-safe solar photovoltaic cells is still the main focus of considerable amount of research works around the world. The most promising candidate is polycrystalline Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) thin-film solar cell because of its excellent photovoltaic properties as a thin-film absorber as well as low fabrication cost. The focus of this book is to contribute in developing novel techniques to achieve higher efficiency approaching towards the attainable conversion efficiency. Efforts are made to establish CdTe solar cells with different configurations as the potential candidate for near future. As the latent efficiency is yet to be accomplished with even the most recently developed technologies, several novel device structures concerning CdTe thin film solar cells have been proposed with all possibilities being explored in this book. The investigations covered here may lead these...
