  • Abstract
    The solar power industry is facing great change with the advent of thin-film technology. Solar cells of tomorrow i.e. thin flexible solar cells will be made using either polymers, a photosensitive dye or organic small-molecule technology and promise cheap, portable solar power. They will be much simpler to manufacture and also will not use toxic, expensive materials.
