ABSTRACT: Solar photo-voltaic (PV) modules is dominated by crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cell which captures nearly 80% of the total PV market because of its high conversion efficiency though they are bulky (wafer thickness 300 micrometer) and have high material cost. Thin film amorphous silicon solar cell for its low cost, deposited on large areas is suitable for large scale terrestrial application. But thin film hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cell technologies......
