Abstract

Photovoltaic cells, also called Solar cells, are electronic devices that convert sunlight directly into electricity. The modern form of the Solar cell was invented in 1954 at Bell Telephone Laboratories. Today, PV is one of the fastest growing renewable energy technologies and it is expected that it will play a major role in the future global electricity generation mix. This paper compares the cost performance of the two prominent PV technologies viz. Thin film Solar cells vis-a-vis Bulk film solar cells .(Sahay Amit et al 2013)
