The efficiency of PV cells and the amount of constituent materials used in the fabrication of PV cells directly influence the cost of generated power. Therefore, in the total cost of the PV power plant, the cost of Si-based panels stands alone for more than half due to high material consumption [ 7 ].
Thin-Film PV Cells: The most versatile of the bunch, thin-film cells are made by layering photovoltaic material on a substrate. These cells are lighter and more flexible than crystalline-based solar cells, which makes them suitable for a variety of surfaces where traditional panels might not be ideal.
