2. Technology Agnostic Analysis and Design for Improved Performance, Variability, and Reliability in Thin Film Photovoltaics

   02 Apr 2014 | Papers | Contributor(s): Sourabh Dongaonkar

   Thin film photovoltaics (TFPV) offer low cost alternatives to conventional crystalline Silicon (c-Si) PV, and can enable novel applications of PV technology. Their large scale adoption however, requires significant improvements in process yield, and operational reliability. In order to address these challenges, comprehensive understanding of factors affecting panel yield, and predictive models of performance reliability are needed. This has proved to be especially challenging for TFPV for two reasons in particular. First, TFPV technologies encompass a wide variety of materials, processes, and structures, which fragments the research effort. Moreover, the monolithic manufacturing of TFPV modules differs significantly from that of c-Si technology, and requires new integrated approaches to analysis and design for these technologies.
