“…In concentrator setups, solar cells tend to become very hot; a thin film cell, which can be cooled more efficiently, is then an essential step towards higher concentration factors [5]. For space applications, where the weight of the solar cells is important, thin film cells with efficiencies comparable to cells on substrate are very desirable [6]. Finally, thin film solar cells show a much larger transparency for light with an energy that is smaller than the bandgap of the semiconductor material, compared to cells on their substrates.…”
