Progress in Amorphous Silicon Multijunction Research at Solarex

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

Large strides have been made at Solarex in advancing amorphous silicon multijunction technology to a maturity level where large-area commercial modules are technically and economically viable. Tandem junction modules (4 ft2) have been demonstrated with average stabilized efficiency of 8%. While maintaining stabilized efficiency the a-Si alloy dposition time has been reduced by 28% and thematerial usage reduced by 38%. Progress has also been made in understanding and improving ZnO front contact and stability.
