ZnO FOR PHOTOVOLTAICS

Abstract

Despite of a large reductions of costs energy produced by solar panels is still too expensive. There are two approaches to change this situation: by (a) increase of device output and/or (b) reduction of device costs by use of cheaper alternative materials. In this article we discuss the latter approach – (a) replacement of ITO by ZnO with metallic conductivity, (b) change of device architecture, and (c) use of alternative materials.<br/><br/>
