Is thin film efficient at converting sunlight on cloudy days?
The thin film material that forms the active photovoltaic component in the Inovus Solar™ collector is more effective at converting sunlight on cloudy days. Daylight is composed of direct sunlight and diffuse or scattered sunlight. During cloudy days, almost all the light that reaches the collector is diffuse sunlight. The Inovus Solar™ thin film collector converts this diffuse sunlight into usable energy nearly 20% better than crystalline or polycrystalline Si collectors.
