First sentence: In order to substantially reduce the costs of present crystalline Si solar cells, the material consumption of highly pure Si in a typical solar cell structure should be reduced.
Description: "This book is the first comprehensive overview covering the different thin-film solar cell technologies: from the more "classical ones" (a-Si:H, CdTe, CIS) to the novel ones which are making their way from the lab to actual production. The book not only provides the reader with a good overview but also provides recent insights on advanced characterization, device modelling and upscaling of the different approaches. The book is intended for postgraduate researchers in the PV domain, industrial researchers in the PV domain and photonics professionals."--BOOK JACKET.
