โœฆ Synopsis

The current state of the art in amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cell R & D efforts and their photovoltaic system applications are reviewed. Firstly, progress in a-Si alloy production technologies is overviewed with their significance as the champion material for a low cost solar cells. Secondly, some new approaches and key technologies to improve solar cell efficiency with stabilized performance by new amorphous silicon alloys and polycrystalline thin film for a-Si basis stacked solar cells are demonstrated. In the final part of paper, progress of the conversion efficiency in various types of amorphous silicon solar cells are surveyed and summarized.

We present recent advances obtained at GSI in scaling-up multichamber fabrication of solar cells. We have successfully adopted the multichamber approach in the development of large-area compound curved semitransparent modules. For this application, a new semitransparent electrode was developed, toge
