Emerging Photovoltaics: Organic, Copper Zinc Tin Sulphide, and Perovskite-Based Solar Cells
Table 6
Comparison of cost and manufacturing process.
| Devices | Cost of raw material | Cost of manufacturing | Method of manufacturing | Other properties |
| Organic | Low | Low | Environmentally friendly, requires low temperature and energy | Can be tailored according to application, thin and light weight, shorter lifetime |
| CZTS | Higher than organic | High | Uses toxic solvents | Suitable for high temperature applications, efficiency less sensitive to temperature, longer lifetime |
| Perovskite | Higher than organic | Low | Low temperature solution-based fabrication, toxic due to lead (Pb) | High stability in air, sensitive to moisture, high efficiency but degrades under normal conditions, working principle as yet unestablished |
