In this paper the present state of development of high efficiency silicon solar cells for use at high concentration levels (20X -100X) is described. The design factors and process steps leading to the best performance within the available process technology are analyzed. The cell efficiency has exce

Studies indicate that 15% module efficiencies are required for central station utility plants. Efficiencies of 9% have been achieved in 30 cm X 30 cm thin film modules with both copper indium diselenide and thin film silicon:hydrogen or "amorphous silicon"; however, it is unlikely that either will r
This paper describes work investigating high rate cadmium telluride (CdTe) film deposition by close-space vapor transport, leading to 4 cm 2 tin oxide/CdTe solar cells of efficiency greater than 10%. Under a 100 mW cm -2 air mass 1.5 global spectrum, a cell of efficiency 10.5% had a short-circuit cu
