THIN-FILM - LESS IS OFTEN MORE.
Compared with traditional crystalline, silicon-based solar cells - also known as
thick film solar cells - thin layer cells are only about one hundredth as thick at around
2 µm (1 µm = 1/1000 mm). This means much lower consumption of resources.
In addition, only about half as much energy is needed to manufacture thin film
modules, cutting in half the energy payback time too.
