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).

Abstract

Solar energy is a strong contender among the sustainable alternatives that offer practical potential for replacing increasingly depleted fossil fuels and supplying the world’s growing energy demands. However, despite its sustainability, the spread of its use has been limited due to the high costs arising from its inadequate efficiency.
