E2TAC researchers are working on several types of thin-film solar cells seeking to achieve improvements in several key areas:
CIGS Thin-Film Solar Cells
E2TAC projects include the development of sputter deposition processes for the CIGS itself, low-cost methods for selenization, and studies of substrates and barrier layers.
Organic Solar Cells
E2TAC researchers are working on increasing the efficiency of polymer-based solar cells and on improving their durability and immunity to environmental effects.
a-Silicon and Polysilicon Solar Cells
E2TAC projects include the investigation of spin-coating techniques for producing wafer-based silicon solar cells, research on thin-film crystalline silicon solar cells, and work on anti-reflection and passivation coatings.
