Since our device is very portable and we need to keep it light and mobile we will be
using the thin film silicon, also known as amorphous. The advantages of this type of
material are that it is the cheapest of them all as well as being the most flexible PV Cell
Array. We will be using this medium in our design because of its flexibility as well as it
being the cheapest material, which will keep cost down, as well as making our box more
affordable to the masses. The major disadvantage is that it does not produce as much
energy as the previous types but will be enough to store the required energy in our box.
