The IEC has developed several standards for solar PV, including IEC 61215, IEC 61646, IEC 61730, IEC 62108, IEC 61701, and IEC 62716. UL is an independent certification organization that provides safety and quality certifications for various products, including solar cell manufacture.
The three major thin film solar cell technologies include amorphous silicon (α-Si), copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), and cadmium telluride (CdTe). In this paper, the evolution of each technology is discussed in both laboratory and commercial settings, and market share and reliability are equally explored.
With regards to materials availability, thin film PV technologies utilize a variety of chemical elements ranging in abundance and production. The material constrained growth of installed capacity in the year 2020 is estimated at about 20 GWp/year for CdTe, 70 GWp/year for CIGS, and 200 GWp/year for a-Si: Ge .
With intense R&D efforts in materials science, several new thin-film PV technologies have emerged that have high potential, including perovksite solar cells, Copper zinc tin sulfide (Cu 2 ZnSnS 4, CZTS) solar cells, and quantum dot (QD) solar cells. 6.1. Perovskite materials
