This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project seeks to determine whether thin film materials, specifically CIGS, can accept the angle of diffracted light from holographic film, and assess the commercial viability of HPC on thin film PV modules. The project will characterize the electrical and optical properties of thin film cells, design holographic elements to work with the cells, design and produce a sample low cost module, and evaluate performance and manufacturability. Results from this project will be higher efficiencies, low-cost manufacturing and many new applications for thin film. The broader impacts/commercial potential of this project will be the merging of thin film technology with existing technology to create a groundbreaking new product. The thin film market has been growing dramatically, resulting from its low cost, low weight, and the ability to manufacture on flexible substrates and embed solar into walls, roofs and windows. When thin film is combined with inexpensive holographic film, the results should lead to even more dramatic performance efficiencies and lower costs. It has been forecasted that the thin film market will represent 20% of the PV industry by 2010, and reach $7.2 billion worldwide by 2015 (from just over $1.0 billion today)."This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)."

这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目旨在确定薄膜材料，特别是CIGS，是否可以接受全息薄膜衍射光的角度，并评估HPC在薄膜光伏组件上的商业可行性。该项目将表征薄膜电池的电学和光学特性，设计与电池配合使用的全息元件，设计和生产低成本模块样品，并评估性能和可制造性。该项目的结果将是更高的效率，低成本的制造和许多新的应用薄膜。该项目更广泛的影响/商业潜力将是薄膜技术与现有技术的融合，以创造一个突破性的新产品。薄膜市场一直在急剧增长，这得益于其低成本、低重量以及在柔性基板上制造和将太阳能嵌入墙壁、屋顶和窗户的能力。当薄膜与廉价的全息胶片相结合时，结果将导致更显着的性能效率和更低的成本。据预测，到2010年，薄膜市场将占光伏行业的20%，到2015年，全球薄膜市场将达到72亿美元（目前仅为10亿美元）。“该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。"
