Flexible photovoltaics are covering the way to low-cost electricity. The build-up of organic, inorganic and organic–inorganic solar cells on flexible substrates by printing technologies is to provide lightweight and economic solar modules that can be incorporated in various surfaces.
In general, if a photovoltaic material can be deposited onto a substrate at temperatures below 300 °C, the material can potentially be used in fabricating flexible solar cells. Several types of active materials, such as a-Si:H, CIGS, small organics, polymers, and perovskites, have broadly been investigated for flexible solar cell application.
For the previous few decades, the photovoltaic (PV) market was dominated by silicon-based solar cells. However, it will transition to PV technology based on flexible solar cells recently because of increasing demand for devices with high flexibility, lightweight, conformability, and bendability.
Additionally, the state of the art over the manufacturing and market of flexible photovoltaic are introduced. And a frame has been defined regarding the environmental impact assessment of organic photovoltaic technologies and flexible skins. The advancement in material science has enabled enormous developments of photovoltaic technologies.
Several types of active materials, such as a-Si:H, CIGS, small organics, polymers, and perovskites, have broadly been investigated for flexible solar cell application. In the following sections, we will discuss the fundamentals of these materials and their strength, weaknesses, and future perspectives for flexible solar cells.
Flexible photovoltaics are including the way to cheap electricity. The preparation of organic, inorganic and organic–inorganic solar cells over flexible substrates by often roll-to-roll printing technologies is to provide lightweight and economic solar modules that can be incorporated in various surfaces.
