Opportunities for Emerging Thin Film Photovoltaics in 2023 and Beyond

Emerging PV applications, such as indoor energy harvesting and building integrated PV, are ideal for thin film PV.

Thin film photovoltaics (PV) have historically played second fiddle, dwarfed by the multi-billion US dollar silicon PV industry. This may be about to change. Emerging PV applications, such as indoor energy harvesting and building integrated PV, have specific requirements that will enable thin film silicon alternatives to flourish. Thin film PV delivers several advantages relative to the incumbent technology, including lighter weight, better power conversion efficiency under indoor light, s...
