Photovoltaic is now a billion dollar industry. The growth of the solar power industry in the last 15 years is amazing and can not be ignored. Solar technology is not just growing; it is becoming more competitive in terms of price also. Solar panel prices have fallen considerably in last few years and another 50% price drop would make solar more competitive with oil and gas. Silicon was the main raw material in 90% of solar PV cells till 2005. But this share has reduced to 60% due to the shortage of high quality silicon. This shortage of silicon has done a number of things. It has shown the growth of Solar technology and increase in the price of silicon solar cells. It has also led the solar industry to invest in solar research, primarily focused on thin-films. In this paper we discuss about copper- indium-gallim-diselenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells as an alternate of silicon solar cells.
