Solar Cell Materials, Photovoltaic Modules and Arrays
The solar cell that contains only organic polymers is termed an "organic" solar cell; if it includes some inorganic material then it is known as a "hybrid organic" solar cell. Dye-sensitized solar cells contain porous nano-particles of titanium dioxide, which enhance the light-gathering capacity of the solar cell and hence its electrical efficiency.

What is the capital cost of a PV system?
The capital cost of a PV system is composed of the PV module cost and the Balance of system (BOS) cost. The PV module is the interconnected array of PV cells and its cost is determined by raw material costs, notably silicon prices, cell processing/manufacturing and module assembly costs.
How much does a solar PV system cost?
The average cost of BOS and installation for PV systems is in the range of USD 1.6 to USD 1.85/W, depending on whether the PV system is ground-mounted or rooftop, and whether it has a tracking system (Bony, 2010 and Photon, 2011). The LCOE of PV systems is therefore highly dependent on BOS and installation costs, which include:
