Energy Harvesting in Flexible and Semi-transparent Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon Solar Cells

Supervisor

Andrei Sazonov

Abstract

The goal of this study is to design, characterize, and fabricate cheap and efficient hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) photovoltaic (PV) modules, and semi-transparent solar cells on transparent plastic substrates for energy harvesting applications. The cells are deposited on thin flexible plastics at low temperature (120-150 °C).
