Abstract
NREL's PV program scored several outstanding R&D successes in thin films in 1995, including a world-record efficiency of 17.1% for a copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) cell and a novel 'hot-wire' deposition process that results in nearly stable amorphous silicon (a-Si) devices. Also highlighted in this issue are the numerous licensing agreements, cooperative research and developmentagreements, patent filings, and other collaborative ventures with the PV industry that reflect NREL's strong and continuing commitment to develop energy-efficient, cost-effective PV products for an increasingly competitive global market.
