A sudden drop in prices of silicon solar cells is leading to growth of thin film solar cells. Thin batteries are competing with large volumes and low costs of coil cell batteries. Optimized performance, reduced cost and unique selling points are important factors that need to be considered to survive in an increasingly competitive market. The photovoltaic market has been growing rapidly over the past few years. Some of the major reasons behind this rise are increasing support from government in the form of subsidies and increasing use of thin film photovoltaic and batteries enabled applications due to their low prices.
