Thin-film Crystalline Silicon on Glass (CSG) is a new photovoltaic (PV) technology that uses a very thin layer of a silicon material to fabricate solar cells supported by a cheap transparent glass substrate.
Fabrication and characterization of solar cells based on multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) thin films are described and synthesized from low-cost soda-lime glass (SLG).
In this Review, we survey the key changes related to materials and industrial processing of silicon PV components.
Introducing an adequate interface layer between the glass and the silicon film and applying laser crystallization by scanning over thin amorphous or nano-crystalline silicon thin films on
improved light trapping schemes are needed, particularly for c-Si thin film solar cells. Here, a photon.

Crystalline silicon or (c-Si) is the crystalline forms of silicon, either polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si, consisting of small crystals), or monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si, a continuous crystal). Crystalline silicon is the dominant semiconducting material used in photovoltaic technology for the production of solar cells. These cells are assembled into solar panels as part of a photovoltaic system to generate solar power from sunlight.
DOE supports crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) research and development efforts that lead to market-ready technologies.
Crystalline silicon on glass (CSG) photovoltaic technology has a number of attributes that make it possibly the most promising thin-film photovoltaic option yet developed.
We highlight the key industrial challenges of both crystallization methods. Then, we review the development of silicon solar cell architectures, with a special focus on back surface field (BSF)
