| Abstract | This paper describes the study on the possibility to reduce the cost of Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) glass using as the superstrate of the glass-to-glass thin-film a-Si PV modules with lower cost in-house produced TCO glass using Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) method. Most commercial TCO glass used today by thin-film a-Si PV module manufacturers is produced in a few large float glass plants in with the Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapour Deposition (APCVD) process. For the in-house production of TCO glass in this study, a TCO glass coating facility using PVD coating method was added to the glass preparation area at the beginning of the production process in the existing thin-film a-Si PV module factory in Thailand. |
