Solar cells made by depositing thin layers of photovoltaic material on glass, plastic or metal, including cadmium telluride, copper indium gallium selenide, amorphous silicon and dye-sensitized cells. A technology belongs here when its cited article calls it a thin-film solar cell. Because the layers are so thin, these cells use far less semiconductor material than crystalline silicon, and they can be made on flexible or large surfaces. A technology is placed here when the cited article calls it a thin-film cell or names its thin-film material.
