Techno-Enviro-Economic Evaluation for Thin-film Solar Cells Integrated with Hybrid Renewable Energy System — •Tawfik Hussein — Mechanical Engineering Dep., National Research Centre (NRC), El Buhouth st.,Dokki, Cairo, Egypt

Thin-film solar cells (TFSC) have recently emerged as a transformative technology in renewable energy, offering advantages such as lightweight design, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness compared to conventional crystalline silicon photovoltaics. This study focuses on designing an optimal hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) that integrates TFSC to maximize the efficient use of renewable energy sources (RES). A proposed HRES, combining multiple RES with TFSC, was developed to supply reliable electricity to a scientific farm in Egypt, with full technical, environmental, and economic evaluation.

The research examines TFSC performance under diverse environmental conditions, highlighting their higher efficiency in low-light and high-temperature scenarios. System indicators including performance, net present cost, CO* emissions, and renewable fraction were analyzed. Results demonstrate that TFSC-based HRES delivers reliable, low-cost energy with notable environmental benefits. Compared to conventional systems, the proposed design achieves substantial reductions in both costs and carbon emissions, enhancing sustainability. These findings confirm TFSC as a promising solution for future renewable energy systems, addressing the increasing demand for affordable and eco-friendly power generation.
