Improved Transparent Conducting Oxides for Photovoltaics: Final Research Report, 1 May 1999--31 December 2002

Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

This subcontract focused on next-generation transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) for improved PV performance. More specifically, there were two research foci: 1) improved Sn-based, n-type TCOs aimed at enhanced CdTe PV cell performance, and 2) novel Cu-based, p-type TCOs applicable to a variety of PV designs. The objective of the research under this subcontract was to identify, explore, evaluate,and develop future generations of photovoltaic technologies that can meet the long-term goal of producing low-cost electricity from sunlight.
