Thin-film solar panels are the second generation of solar panels, which are made by depositing one or more layers of photovoltaic photon absorbing materials on substrates such as glass, plastic or metal. Thin-film cells are very thin, typically ranging in thickness from a few nanometers to tens of microns, which makes thin-film solar cells both flexible and lightweight. Because of their high flexi...
