Executive Summary :

This review discusses the development of flexible thin-film solar cells, such as CIGS, CdTe, and a-SiH, which are lightweight, efficient, and can be integrated into various applications. The project aims to design a grid-tied solar inverter for SC and ST dominant areas, providing electricity. The process includes system design, component selection, procurement, assembly, integration, installation, and maintenance. The goal is to create a fully functional system with a grid tie inverter, demonstrating its performance, efficiency, and reliability. The project findings will be disseminated through publications, presentations, and workshops.

The flexible/thin film solar power system with grid tie inverter offers significant commercial potential due to its adaptability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. It can be used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications, and can generate electricity in low-light conditions. The system's compact components and enhanced efficiency make it cost-effective and environmentally friendly. The grid-tie inverter synchronizes the AC power from the battery bank with the grid, ensuring efficient power generation. The system can be easily scaled up or down to meet specific application needs.
