However, the materials and thickness differ drastically. The average efficiency of thin film panels ranges between 7–13%, depending on the type and quality of material used. This is lower than monocrystalline panels, which reach up to 24%, but that doesn’t tell the full story. Here’s where thin solar panels shine:
Thin film solar panels, also called thin film photovoltaic solar panels, are made by depositing one or more layers of photovoltaic material onto a substrate like glass, plastic, or metal. These layers are incredibly slim, around 1 micron (1µm) compared to 300 microns in traditional silicon wafers.
Thin-film solar panels use a 2 nd generation technology varying from the crystalline silicon (c-Si) modules, which is the most popular technology. Thin-film solar cells (TFSC) are manufactured using a single or multiple layers of PV elements over a surface comprised of a variety of glass, plastic, or metal.
This is the oldest and most basic type of thin film solar cell. It''s lightweight, flexible, and affordable, making it ideal for small electronics like calculators, solar-powered watches, and portable devices. However, its lower energy conversion rate means it''s not suitable for larger energy needs.
