A process for building thin film flexible solar cells using a bio-based plastic substrate comprising the steps of; degasing the bio-based substrate at a temperature of 120 degrees Celsius, and forming a barrier layer of silicon oxide through the process of chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The silicon oxide layer seals micro-cracks in the bio-based plastic substrate and provides a stable substrate during the production and operation of the thin film PV device. The resulting substrate is used to build a thin film solar cell employing a conventional low temperature CVD chamber process by depositing the required layers of semiconductor and conductive materials.
