I1n view of the present global energy crisis the advent of the ternary chalcopyrites with some important useful properties stimulate us to study these compounds together with their mixed versions with a view to find their suitability as efficient solar cell materials. We finally selected out a few promising materials, as some of them have desirable characteristics and satisfy the stringent requirements for photovoltaic energy conversion.
