Advances in thin-film solar cells
Dharmadasa, I. M.
Advances in thin-film solar cells [Book] / I.M. Dharmadasa. - Singapore : Pan Stanford Pub., c2013. - xvi, 225 p., 6 p. of plates : ill. (some col.) ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
This book concentrates on the latest developments in our understanding of solid-state device physics. The material presented is mainly experimental and based on CdTe thin-film solar cells. It extends these new findings to CIGS thin-film solar cells and presents a new device design based on graded bandgap multilayer solar cells. This design has been experimentally tested using the well-researched GaAs/AlGaAs system and initial devices have shown impressive device parameters. These devices are capable of absorbing all radiation (UV, visible, and infra-red) within the solar spectrum and combines "impact ionization" and "impurity photovoltaic" effects. The improved device understanding presented in this book should impact and guide future device design and low-cost thin-film solar panel manufacture.
