Onyx Solar Spain 05004 Ávila. Spain. Amorphous silicon photovoltaic glass features a thin, uniform layer of silicon between two glass panels, allowing light to pass through due to its inherent transparency. It offers a more aesthetic appearance than crystalline silicon (c-Si) and performs well in diffuse light conditions and vertical installations.

Because only very thin layers are required, deposited by glow discharge on substrates of glass or stainless steel, only small amounts of material will be required to make these cells. The efficiency of amorphous silicon solar cells has a theoretical limit of about 15% and realized efficiencies are now up around 6 or 7%.
Amorphous silicon solar cells are normally prepared by glow discharge, sputtering or by evaporation, and because of the methods of preparation, this is a particularly promising solar cell for large scale fabrication.
