This report presents results of one year of research on high-efficiency, single-junction, monolithic, thin-film amorphous silicon solar cells. This work consists of five research tasks: (1) amorphous silicon materials, (2) nonsemiconductor materials, (3) solar cells, (4) monolithic, intraconnected cells/submodules and (5) multichamber deposition systems. The primary goal is to advance the state of the art of flexible thin films using glow-discharge deposition methods. Among other accomplishments, a multichamber deposition system has been installed that can deposit all three p-i-n layers continuously and sequentially, and these layers have demonstrated good IV characteristics.
