Historically, buildings were constructed of timber, masonry, or a combination of both. Their exterior walls were, supporting much or all of the load of the entire structure. The nature of the materials resulted in inherent limits to a building's height and the maximum size of window openings. The development and widespread use of and later

Thin-film solar cells are a type of solar cell made by depositing one or more thin layers (thin films or TFs) of photovoltaic material onto a substrate, such as glass, plastic or metal. Thin-film solar cells are typically a few nanometers (nm) to a few microns (μm) thick–much thinner than the wafers used in conventional crystalline silicon (c-Si) based solar cells, which can be up to 200 μm thick. Th. HistoryEarly research into thin-film solar cells began in the 1970s. In 1970, team at created the first gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells, later winning the 2000 Nobel prize in Physics for. . In a typical solar cell, the is used to generate from sunlight. The light-absorbing or "active layer" of the solar cell is typically a material, meaning that there is a gap in its . Thin-film technologies reduce the amount of active material in a cell. The active layer may be placed on a rigid substrate made from glass, plastic, or metal or the cell may be made with a flexible substrate like cloth. Thin-film so.
