This report focuses on technology trends in plastic and thin film photovoltaic (PV) cells, as well as the materials and processes used in the thin film PV industry.
Chapters 2, 3 and 4 give an overview of the principal PV cell technologies, materials and manufacturing processes.
Chapter 5 discusses PV cells for building-integrated power generation, consumer electronics, military uses, packaging, solar chargers and textiles plus other developing and commercial applications.
Chapter 6 looks at the exciting market outlook for plastic and dye-sensitised PV cells as efficiencies of 15-20% are expected in the foreseeable future.
Chapter 7 considers future trends in the use of plastic and thin film PV technologies.
Chapter 8 gives profiles of photovoltaic suppliers and research organisations.
