Technologies of solar cells
Cadmium Telluride (CdTe)Thin-film, easy to deposit, large scale
productionCopper-Indium Selenide (CuInSe2)Thin film, high optical absorption
coefficientsGallium Arsenide (GaAs) MultijunctionMultiple thin films, Triple-junction cell,
each conductor absorb light most efficiently at a certain colour, absorp nearly the entire solar spectrum

Technologies of solar cells
Single Crystal Solar Cellhigh-purity material, excellent efficiencies and
long-term stability, too expensive for mass production
Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC)manufactured by screen printing, lowest-cost
solar cell
Organic/Polymer Solar CellsLow efficiency, mechanical flexibility
Nanocrystalline Solar Cellshigh surface area to increase internal reflections
and hence increase the probability of light absorption

Current use of PV-Technologies
Low power applications/solar chargers
Solar parks/power plants
Water pumping
Space applications
And many, many more

Efficiency in current PV-Technologies
Currently efficiencies of solar cells – maximum 20 %
In research labs they reach already 35 % and more
Theoretical calculations of up to 80 % in the future

The future of PV-Technologies
Many research groups in universities and research institutions around the world are currently active in the field of photovoltaics. This research can be divided into three areas:
Making current technology solar cells cheaper and/or more efficient
Developing new technologiesDeveloping new materials

Photovoltaic in Austria
• Funded since the mid-1980s• First program in 1992 („200 kW-
photovoltaic-broadtest“)• Today Vorarlberg has more than 1/3 of
Austrians PV-Powerplants

Photovoltaic in Austria
• Till the end of 2006, 25.5 MWp has been installed
• Of this amount, 88% were run by grid-connection, 12 % autarchically
• There is an estimated amount of approximately 20 GWh/year PV-power in Austria

Photovoltaic in Austria
• Costs: • 49 Cents for plants < 5kW• 42 Cents for plants between 5-10 kW• 32 Cents for plants > 10 kW
