Over the last several years, Photovoltaics (PV) have become a major player in the world energy market. With the price of fossil fuel based energies on the rise and the warming planet, it has become abundantly clear that alternative energy sources must be utilized for the sustainable future. Recent developments in the thin-film PV industry have pushed solar to the forefront of these technologies. I

n Germany, 7% of the total generated energy comes from PV sources, and during peak utilization times have boasted as high as 50%. In the United States, Xcel Energy in Colorado has declared solar has reached grid parity with natural gas power plants. With further advances in these technologies, it will not be long before PV becomes one of the cheapest, most reliable form of energy available.
