Thin-film solar cells are a type of solar cell made by depositing one or more thin layers (thin films or TFs) of photovoltaic material onto a substrate, such as glass, plastic or metal. Thin-film solar cells are typically a few nanometers (nm) to a few microns (μm) thick–much thinner than the wafers used in conventional.

Thin film solar cells shared some common origins with crystalline Si for space power in the 1950s [1].However, it was not until 1973 with the onset of the oil embargo and resulting world focus on terrestrial solar energy as a priority that serious research investments in these PV technologies were realized [2, 3].The race to develop electric-power alternatives to
Thin film solar cells are a next-generation solution for the renewable energy industry. They possess several benefits over conventional crystalline photovoltaic solar cell technologies, but there are still some limitations to these devices. Due to their lower efficiency, more panels are needed to achieve the same power conversion as silicon
