Thin-film solar cells are a type of photovoltaic technology used to convert sunlight into electricity. They are characterized by their thin layers of active semiconductor material deposited on a substrate, which can range from flexible materials to rigid glass or metal. This contrasts with traditional crystalline silicon solar cells, which are typically thicker and made from cut wafers of silicon.
