The High-Performance PV Project, Phase 1 objectives are: Accelerate the development of PV in the 21st century to meet economic and environmental needs, and double sunlight-to-electricity conversion efficiency of cost-competitive PV technologies. Cost-competitive technologies: high-flux concentrators-high-efficiency multijunction cells, single-axis concentrators using thin-film cells; and low-cost multijunction thin films for large-area, monolithically interconnected flat-plate modules. Subcontracts are under way toward project targets; polycrystalline in-house efforts focus on the top cell of a tandem structure; and the III-V multijunction in-house effort focuses on the GaInAsN junction.
