Flexible photovoltaics are covering the way to low-cost electricity. The build-up of organic, inorganic and organic,Äìinorganic solar cells on flexible substrates by printing technologies is to provide lightweight and economic solar modules that can be incorporated in various surfaces. Progress of flexible and lightweight solar cell is interesting for many terrestrial and space applications that require a very high specific power. Thin-film solar cells on polymer films can produce more than 2KW\\Kg specific power. Flexible solar cells are proposed to open up a numerous of possibilities for enabling new applications in consumer electronics and space satellites. Recent research in thin-film electronics has been concentrated on the replacement of the traditional rigid glass plate substrate with plastic or metallic foils. Organic materials bear the potential to develop a long-term technology that is economically viable for large-scale power generation based on environmentally safe materials with unlimited availability. Organic and organic-inorganic photovoltaics (PVs) (third generation solar cells) continue to attract great attention from the PV community, due to their promising features such as low organic,Äìinorganic cost, flexibility and light weight. In this chapter, many of the possible materials for manufacturing of flexible solar cells are discussed.

Most photovoltaic (PV) installations utilise heavy conventional glass or polycarbonate panels, and even newly developed thin plastic or metal films for PV cell use may fracture during both construction and application. Textile fabrics, the most widespread flexible materials in everyday use, offer a solution to the need for lightweight, flexible solar PV generators. Solar Textiles: The Flexible Solution for Solar Power is about the incorporation and operation of solar cells on textile fabrics. The combination of textile manufacturing and solar PV cell technology opens up further avenues for both the textile and semiconductor industries. Thus, this book reflects the progressively increasing commercial interest in PV cell technology and the versatility that their integration in textiles provides. Discusses textiles as electrical substrates Explains the photovoltaic effect and associated parameters Offers special consideration of solar cells on textiles Compares fibres and fabrics and how to implement PV activity on a textile Describes manufacturing methods outside of semiconductor technology Includes applications open only to textiles This work is aimed at textile technologists, electronic engineers, solar technologists, civil engineers and designers in building fabrics and architecture.

"You, 0 Sun, are the eye of the world You are the soul of all embodied beings You are the source of all creatures You are the discipline of all engaged in work" - Translated from Mahabharata 3rd Century BC Today, energy is the lifeline and status symbol of "civilized" societies. All nations have therefore embarked upon Research and Development pro grams of varying magnitudes to explore and effectively utilize renewable sources of energy. Albeit a low-grade energy with large temporal and spatial variations, solar energy is abundant, cheap, clean, and renewable, and thus presents a very attractive alternative source. The direct conver sion of solar energy to electricity (photovoltaic effect) via devices called solar cells has already become an established frontier area of science and technology. Born out of necessity for remote area applications, the first commercially manufactured solar cells - single-crystal silicon and thin film CdS/Cu2S - were available well over 20 years ago. Indeed, all space vehicles today are powered by silicon solar cells. But large-scale terrestrial applications of solar cells still await major breakthroughs in terms of discovering new and radical concepts in solar cell device structures, utilizing relatively more abundant, cheap, and even exotic materials, and inventing simpler and less energy intensive fabrication processes. No doubt, this extraordinary challenge in R/D has led to a virtual explosion of activities in the field of photovoltaics in the last several years.

Among all harvesting technologies, photovoltaic technology is, right now, the one that can provide the highest level of power for mobile applications. Here, we focus on the development of new materials providing a sustainable and low environmental footprint approach for the fabrication of flexible solar cells. Based on a polymer flexible support, different fabrication technologies have been investigated to elaborate materials with adequate performance for building such a solar cell. Low cost laser writing technique has been used to produce nanostructured graphite electrodes using even the polymer substrate as base material. Numerous technologies, based either on physical or chemical deposition process, have been investigated to produce the absorbing material. This one is made of nanoparticles, i.e. semiconductor quantum dots. Such demonstrations have already been successfully demonstrated using mainly lead based material. In our goal targeting green technology, there is no way using such a material. We focus then on an exploratory material, a copper and lanthanum based oxide. Among the different fabrication methods, we focused on pulsed laser and sputtering deposition techniques. In order going to a solar cell structure, absorbing material has been deposited on the nanostructured graphite electrodes and the obtained film has been characterized. First attempt of a solar cell using a transparent conductive oxide, based on zinc, has been launched. A very low photoelectric behavior has been observed.

The low cost and low temperature electrochemical deposition technique was employed to grow Cu2O thin films and ZnO:Al thin films were deposited by d.c. magnetron sputtering in order to fabricate solar cells. The potentiostatic and galvanostatic electrodeposition modes were used to deposit the Cu2O thin films. Raman spectra of thin films have shown characteristic frequencies of crystalline Cu2O. The contact between Cu2O and Au is found to be an Ohmic contact. The devices grown by a potentiostatic mode have higher efficiency than those grown by a galvanostatic mode. The optimum thickness of Cu2O thin films as an absorber layer in solar cells. was found to be around 3 µm respect to a high efficiency. Flexible and light weight solar cell was fabricated on plastic substrate.
