Papers are presented on developments in thin film solar cells, high-efficiency solar cells and systems and applications of photovoltaics. Specific topics include the ultrahigh speed growth of silicon ribbons, an MIS inversion layer solar cell, the performance of a photovoltaically-powered air conditioning system, high-efficiency wraparound contact solar cells, grain orientations and boundaries in polycrystalline silicon solar cells, the economics of photovoltaics in the commercial, institutional and industrial sectors, CuCdS thin film solar cells, dendritic web silicon in solar cells and modules, progress in cascade solar cells, ion-implanted grating-type silicon solar cells, and the effects of nonuniform illumination on silicon concentrator solar cell performance. Attention is also given to the theoretical efficiency limit of direct gap solar cells, ZnO films and ZnO/CdTe heterojunction preparation, a high-efficiency, radiation damage-resistance space solar cell, low-cost ion implantation and annealing for solar cells, a simulation of a hybrid solar photovoltaic thermal electric power system, a proposed design of a-Si:H solar cells, GaAs shallow homojunction solar cells, and BSR solar cells for space solar arrays.
