4 FAQs about Is utg glass solar

What is a UTG & how does it work?

The UTG is specifically designed for use in space applications such as a cover glass for PV whereby it is laminated atop of the solar cells. Its cerium content provides protection from high energy radiation.

Can cadmium-free solar cells be used on ultra-thin glass?

The new cell concept was introduced in the study “ High-efficiency cadmium-free Cu (In,Ga)Se 2 flexible thin-film solar cells on ultra-thin glass as an emerging substrate,” published in the Journal of Alloys and Compounds.

Is ultra-thin glass a suitable substrate for CdTe solar cells?

Flexible metallic and polyimide foils are frequently used, but in this work an alternative substrate with attractive properties, ultra-thin glass (UTG) has been employed. CdTe solar cells with average efficiency reaching 14.7% AM1.5G efficiency have been produced on UTG of 100 μm thickness.

Why is ultra-thin glass used as a flexible substrate for CIGS technology?

Ultra-thin glass is used as a flexible substrate for the CIGS technology. The Young's moduli of Mo and CIGS layers are measured by nanoindentation. The reported values are used to calculate the strain induced in CIGS in flexion. The strain is calculated for cells made on ultra-thin glass and on polyimide. Cu (In, Ga)Se 1. Introduction
