Abstract
AbstractResults for solar cells with high specific power (W/kg) using amorphous silicon alloy technology are reported. Currently available roll-to-roll production technology capable of high volume has been used to form cells on thinned stainless steel with high specific power. Results of cells on thinned stainless steel formed in batch mode in research and development (R&D) machines are also presented. Cells on polyimide in the early R&D stage have also been formed and are described. An analysis of cell component material and dimension changes to increase specific power shows that specific power ∼2000 W/kg is possible as a long-term goal. Cells with specific power ranging from 300 to 400 W/kg for production cells with 8.5 % beginning of life AM0 efficiency to over 1200 W/kg for R&D cells on polyimide substrates are presented.
