Ecologic ceramic substrates for CIGS solar cells [PDF]
Ceramics International, 2016 In this work the use of porcelain stoneware tiles as alternative substrates for CIGS thin film solar cells for the development of specific applications as those related to building integration (BIPV, BAPV) are reported. Two types of porcelain stoneware have been compared: the conventional tile (STD) and the ecological tile (ECO).
