What Happened to the Thin Film Solar Market?
There is no thin-film solar market. There’s First Solar with cadmium telluride (CdTe), Solar Frontier with CIGS, and until recently Sharp in amorphous silicon (a-Si), with a few smaller players following behind. There are also a few companies looking at very thin c-Si, such as Twin Creeks or 1366 Technologies. In cadmium telluride materials, [...]
Polycrystalline vs Monocrystalline Solar Modules
Most solar modules used today are either polycrystalline or monocrystalline, otherwise known as mono and poly. So what is the difference between polycrystalline and monocrystalline? For the sake of brevity, the difference between the two is that monocrystalline is composed of a single crystal of silicon, while polycrystalline is composed of many crystals. These two [...]
