The main goal of the proposal is to develop thin films solar cell devices which can produce solar-to-electric energy conversion efficiently using ambient stable, cost effective, nontoxic and earth abundant materials. Si-wafer based devices are fit on the most of these criteria and commercialized also. This solar cells demonstrated highest efficiency made from expensive single crystal wafers but the processing methods used for the fabrication of the wafer based devices is quite expensive which increases the cost of the device
