This paper reviews about the Potential applications of thin film Photovoltaic (PV) Cells with a common goal of producing high power efficiency of the solar cells by reducing the size of silicon wafers. A new field of nanotechnology has opened up and promising possibilities to reduces the heating effect in the material with thin film PV cells. We discuss about the light trapping effect for cell efficiency using the high surface area in 3-D hierarchical ZnO nanostructures. CdTe thin films were made using a layer-by-layer deposition process consisting of spin coating colloidal CdTe Nano crystals followed by a sintering step.
