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
New approaches for current problems facing cascade solar cells in III-V compounds are addressed. Spinodal decomposition of metastable alloys such as A1GaAsSb resulting in the separation of low band gap phases is proposed as an interconnect between the two cells. A new superlattice structure based on
