One application starting to become widely popular worldwide is the Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) highly dependent on thin-film solar technology. There are two main branches of this technology, solar shingles or solar roof tiles, and solar windows or solar glass. . 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. This process allows the panels to be lightweight, flexible, and versatile for various uses.

Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation. These photons contain varying amounts of. . At a high level, solar panels are made up of solar cells, which absorb sunlight. They are composed of numerous solar cells made of semiconductor materials, typically silicon, which capture solar energy and convert it into usable electricity. Solar power on Earth begins about 93 million miles away.
