Photovoltaics for solar energy applications II
Various papers on photovoltaics for solar energy applications are presented. The topics considered include: promising thin film solar cells, commercial development of ovonic thin film solar cells, progress in amorphous silicon photovoltaics, improvement in photovoltaic performance of large area glass/TCO/p-i-n/metal a-Si:H solar cell, tandem type solar cells consisting of hydrogenated amorphous silicon germanium alloys, and manufacture of amorphous silicon photovoltaic modules. Also addressed are: properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon prepared by chemical vapor deposition from higher silanes, correlation between deposition parameters and performance of sputtered amorphous silicon solar cells, cost estimates for amorphous silicon deposition processes, high-efficiency crystalline tandem cells, and thin-film cadmium solar cells. Also discussed are: progress in copper indium diselenide thin-film photovoltaic device research, edge-stabilized ribbon growth, research on polycrystalline silicon solar cells, silicon ingot growth by an oscillating crucible technique, solar reversible energy fluctuation converter, and photovoltaic applications and economics.
