Abstract

In this article the authors reviewed the current status of the chalcogenide thin film solar cells, so that the efficiency of the existing cells can be enhanced. We have discussed briefly about the techniques involved for maintaining the thickness of these cells as attenuated as possible. Chalcogenidethin-film solar cells are based on absorber materials like CdTe, Cu (In,Ga)Se(II) and Cu2ZnSn (S,Se)(IV). Copper ores can be a chief constituent of these cells since they are available abundantly in nature and they serve greatly for this purpose. The general aspects, current workings and the research highlights are analyzed in detail. Finally, the drawbacks and the future scope for the cells are also discussed vividly.
