However, in terms of how they work, thin-film solar panels are no different from their traditional counterparts. Like silicon wafers, the semiconductor material layered on top of the substrate uses the photovoltaic effect to convert light energy into electrical energy.
Like silicon wafers, the semiconductor material layered on top of the substrate uses the photovoltaic effect to convert light energy into electrical energy. One of the primary reasons for the growing popularity of flexible thin film solar panels is the ease with which they can be manufactured.
As far as other thin-film solar panels go, gallium arsenide has shown the highest efficiency rates at 30% while organic photovoltaic (OPV) panels have displayed an average efficiency rate of slightly above 18%.
