Third-generation PV cells’ objective is to use very thin film for power production compared to second-generation PV cells. Different manufacturers of third-generation photovoltaic cells are listed in Table 2.3. The perception is to do diminish the cost per watt peak with small intensification of areal cost. Availability of raw material is higher and being harmless is the basic requirement; it common for both second and third generation. Third-generation solar PV cells are very much suitable for mass production. This type of PV cells is not giving as much efficiency and quality of single crystal PV cells [10].
