Solar cells are typically named after the of which they are composed. These have varying characteristics to absorb optimal available spectrum. Some cells are designed to handle sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface, while others are optimized for. Solar cells can be made of a single layer of light-absorbing material () or use multiple physical confi.

Thin-film solar cells are a type of made by depositing one or more thin layers ( or TFs) of material onto a substrate, such as glass, plastic or metal. Thin-film solar cells are typically a few nanometers () to a few microns () thick–much thinner than the used in conventional (c-Si) based solar cells, which can be up to 200 μm thick. Thin-film solar cells are commercially u.
