Thin film solar cells refer to the fact that these types of solar cells use a much thinner level of photovoltaic material than mono-crystalline or multi-crystalline solar cells. The thin-film solar cells are made by depositing one or more thin layers, or thin film (TF) of photovoltaic material on a substrate, such as glass, plastic or metal. Thin-film solar cells are commercially used in several technologies, including cadmium telluride (CdTe), copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS), and amorphous thin-film silicon (a-Si, TF-Si)
Now, the leading manufacturers of Thin-film Solar Cells located in the USA, Japan and China, such as First Solar (USA), occupied 50% market share, followed by Solar Frontier (Japan), Sharp Thin Film (Japan) and Hanergy (China), they occupied 18%, 4%, 6% market share, thus the four leading companies hold above 80% market share in the world market. There is a big gap between domestic companies and abroad companies, the major companies include Hanergy, ENN Energy Holdings and Topray Solar in China.
