Chalcogenide Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) and CdTe thin film solar cells have the potential to reduce the cost of the photovoltaic (PV) technology. They showed high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of more than 20% shrinking the gap between them and champion crystalline Si solar cell. Despite of high effici...
