Solution
The correct options are
A Silicon
B Polycrystalline Thin Films
C Gallium Arsenide
Answer:− A,B,CSolar cells can be classified into first, second and third generation cells. The first generation cells—also called conventional, traditional or wafer-based cells—are made of crystalline silicon, the commercially predominant PV technology, that includes materials such as polysilicon and monocrystalline silicon.
Second generation cells are thin film solar cells, that include amorphous silicon, CdTe and CIGS (Copper indium gallium selenide) cells and are commercially significant in utility-scale photovoltaic power stations. The third generation of solar cells includes a number of thin-film technologies often described as emerging photovoltaics—most of them have not yet been commercially applied and are still in the research.
