Over the last several years, Photovoltaics (PV) have become a major player in the world energy market. With the price of fossil fuel based energies on the rise and the warming planet, it has become abundantly clear that alternative energy sources must be utilized for the sustainable future. Recent developments in the thin-film PV industry have pushed solar to the forefront of these technologies. I
