Thin film solar cells promise acceptable efficiency at low cost. This tutorial examines the device physics of thin-film solar cells, which generally require a different type of analysis than crystalline solar cells.

Solar Cells Lecture 5: Organic Photovoltaics

A new version of the course has been posted here.  The modern solar cell was invented at Bell Labs in 1954 and is currently receiving renewed attention as a potential contribution to addressing the world&amp;#39;s energy challenge. This set of five tutorials is an introduction to solar...
