Abstract
Solar energy is one of the most promising industries of renewable power engineering. In Russia, the large-scale development of solar engineering is related to the launch of the production of thin-film solar modules based on amorphous silicon at Hevel LLC in February 2015. This company is qualified to create a full-fledged high-tech solar energy industry as an alternative to traditional power sources. Its activity is aimed at improving the efficiency, reducing the production cost, and expanding the scope of application of solar modules. In order to support and develop this industry, the Research and Development Center for Thin-Film Technologies started to operate under the Ioffe Physicotechnical Institute in 2012, its main goal being to improve the key parameters of solar modules based on amorphous silicon in the interests of Hevel LLC.
