MIT researchers have developed a scalable fabrication technique to produce ultrathin, lightweight solar cells that can be stuck onto any surface. The thin-film solar cells weigh about 100 times less than conventional solar cells while generating about 18 times more. . Thin-film solar panels use a 2 nd generation technology varying from the crystalline silicon (c-Si) modules, which is the most popular technology. Images for download on the MIT News office website are made available to non-commercial entities, press and the general public under a Creative Commons. . Photovoltaic technology, often abbreviated as PV, represents a revolutionary method of harnessing solar energy and converting it into electricity. Each solar cell is six-inches square (156mm x 156mm) and can thus be configured into long-narrow arrays to fit in the spaces where conventional 60 or 72-cell solar panels. .
