2. What is thin film solar cell? Solar cell: electrical device used to convert energy of light into electricity Thin film solar cell/ thin-film photovoltaic cell : -part of solar cells - depositing one or more thin layers of photovoltaic material on a basement.

3. Why it is important? New technology which contribute to produce energy. Depends on sun which is renewable source Save environment clean beside producing needed energy. Costs less than other solar cells

4. How did it start? It started as small strips powering hand- held calculators. Large size, different kind building and structures Large size, vehicle charging systems.

5. Types of solar cells Monocrystalline cells polycrystalline cells Thin-film solar cell Amorphous silicon (a-Si) Cadmium telluride (CdTe) Copper indium gallium deselenide (CIGS) Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC)

6. Monocrystalline solar cells  made out of silicon ingots  lowe costs Polycrystalline Silicon Solar Cells  Raw silicon is melted  poured into a square mold

7. Thin-Film Solar Cells (TFSC)  widely available  The efficiency not high  low cost per Watt

8. Typical Applications in thin film solar cell  Solar Street Lights  Telecommunication System

9.  Ocean navigation Aids  Remote Monitoring and Control  Electric power generation in space  PV on buildings
