Recent progress in thin film polycrystalline solar cells based on cadmium sulfide

Conference · · SPIE Semin. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6035333
Recent developments in thin film polycrystalline cells based on CdS/Cu/sub 2/S have established this cell as a major contender for large scale terrestrial application. Conversion efficiencies for CdS/Cu/sub 2/S now exceed 8%, with firm reason to believe that 10% is achievable. A modified cell using (CdZn)S is expected to be capable of about 15% conversion efficiency.
