Coatings on Textiles for Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 Photovoltaic Cell Formation on Textile Carriers: Preparation of Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 Solar Cells on Glass-Fiber Textiles

摘要

Results are presented on the construction of a thin-layer photovoltaic cell on glass-fiber fabric. The unevenness of the fabric was first smoothed by the application of a high-temperature stable resin before photovoltaic layer deposition. We obtained an efficiency of light-to-current conversion of more than 8%. This constitutes a remarkably high value for a photovoltaic cell on a flexible substrate.
