Amorphous silicon hnub ci vaj huam sib luag yog ib tug tshiab nyias-zaj duab xis hnub ci vaj huam sib luag uas tau tshwm sim nyob rau hauv 1976. Nws txawv kiag li ntawm monocrystalline silicon thiabPolycrystalline silicon solar panels.Cov txheej txheem yog yooj yim heev, cov khoom siv silicon noj tsawg heev, thiab lub zog siv qis dua. Nws Lub ntsiab kom zoo dua yog nws muaj peev xwm tsim hluav taws xob txawm nyob rau hauv lub teeb tsis tshua muaj teeb meem. Txawm li cas los xij, qhov teeb meem tseem ceeb ntawm amorphous silicon hnub ci vaj huam sib luag yog tias qhov kev hloov pauv ntawm photoelectric tsis tshua muaj siab, qib siab thoob ntiaj teb yog li 10 feem pua, thiab nws tsis ruaj khov txaus. Raws li lub sij hawm mus, nws conversion efficiency decays.
Lub hnub ci vaj huam sib luag ntau yam hais txog lub hnub ci vaj huam sib luag uas tsis yog ua los ntawm ib qho khoom siv semiconductor. Muaj ntau ntau yam kawm nyob rau hauv ntau lub teb chaws, feem ntau ntawm cov uas tseem tsis tau muaj industrialized, thiab feem ntau muaj xws li cov hauv qab no:
a) CdS hnub ci vaj huam sib luag
b) GaAs solar panels
c) Copper Indium Selenium Hnub Ci Vaj Huam Sib Luag
