CIS-based thin film PV technology. Phase 1 annual technical report, September 1995--September 1996
- Siemens Solar Industries, Camarillo, CA (United States)
The primary objective of this subcontract is to establish reliable high-throughput, high-yield thin film deposition processes in order to make CIS a viable option for the next generation of photovoltaics. The primary goals for the project are to deliver a champion prototype 13% efficient large area module and to deliver sets of modules in 1-kW arrays composed of steadily increasing efficiency, reaching 1 kW of 12% efficient large-area modules by the end of the third year, demonstrating performance as well as commercial viability. The focus of the deliverables on large sets of high-performance modules reflects Siemens Solar Industries` commitment to demonstrating a reliable low-cost product. This document reports on progress from September 1995 through September 1996.
