Abstract
A summary status of the advanced photovoltaics research and development is presented. These technologies cover two broad areas: (1) Thin-film intermediate efficiency ( greater than 10%) solar cells for flat plate applications, and (2) Single-crystal, high-efficiency ( greater than 30%) solar cells for concentrators. Major progress is highlighted for polycrystalline and amorphous silicon, cadmium sulfide, gallium arsenide, emerging materials, and spectrum-splitting and multiple junction concentrators.
