## Abstract The need to develop inexpensive renewable energy sources has stimulated intensive scientific research for efficient, lowβcost, lightweight, photovoltaic devices. Organic polymerβbased photovoltaic elements have offered the potential to obtain cheap and fabricationβeasy methods to harves
An efficient Fresnel lens particularly designed for use with photovoltaic solar cells is described. The lens accomplishes different objectives: the whole energy band corresponding to the spectral response of the cell is focused on the cell; superposition of the spectra from various prisms yields a n
## Abstract What are the solar cell efficiencies that we can strive towards? We show here that several simple criteria, based on cell and module performance data, serve to evaluate and compare all types of today's solar cells. Analyzing these data allows to gauge in how far significant progress can
