In this work the use of porcelain stoneware tiles as alternative substrates for CIGS thin film solar cells for the development of specific
applications as those related to building integration (BIPV, BAPV) are reported. Two types of porcelain stoneware have been compared: the
conventional tile (STD) and the ecological tile (ECO). The ECO ceramic paste formulation has been designed adding industrial wastes (recycled
glass, sludges and chamote). Chemical, technological and functional properties of the paste have been performed. The CIGS absorber has been
synthesized by an easy and low-cost way of preparation using co-precipitation method. The solar cell device has been completed and fully
characterized.
The achieved results indicate better performances for ECO paste compared to the STD, stated in improved mechanical resistance, thickness and
morphology. It is demonstrated that both tiles are suitable for solar cell applications, but ECO substrate developed higher energy conversion
efficiency of 1.3%. [-]
