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 solar cells tend to be cheaper than crystalline silicon cells and have a smaller ecological impact (determined from ). Their thin and flexible nature also.

Solar on residential rooftops is popular for saving on electricity bills, which rose in the mid-2020s. Solar is also suitable for many . At the beginning of 2022 there was 1.2 GW of household solar, of which it is estimated 280 MW had been destroyed by the end of 2024. The IEA estimate that if all (excluding north-facing) roofs had panels 290 TWh could be generated.

Electric vehicles that operate off of or sunlight are commonly referred to as solar cars. These vehicles use to convert absorbed light into electrical energy to be used by electric motors, with any excess energy stored in . Batteries in solar-powered vehicles differ from starting batteries in standard cars because they are fashioned to impart power tow.

Thin-film solar cells are a type of made by depositing one or more thin layers ( or TFs) of material onto a substrate, such as glass, plastic or metal. Thin-film solar cells are typically a few nanometers () to a few microns () thick–much thinner than the used in conventional (c-Si) based solar cells, which can be up to 200 μm thick. Thin-film solar cells are commercially used in several technologies, including (.

Pécs Solar Park is a large (PV) power system, built on a 20 ha (49 acres) plot of land located in in . The solar park has around 38,000 state-of-the-art PV panels for a total nameplate capacity of 20-megawatts, and was finished in April 2016. The solar park is expected to supply around 63 GWh of electricity per year enough to power some 10,000 average.
