The goal of this program is a high-efficiency, thin-film tandem solar cell based on CuInSe/sub 2/. The performance of the (CdZn)S/CuInSe/sub 2/ component in the tandem has been brought up to an efficiency of well over 10%. Significant improvement in a CdS/CdTe thin-film cell compatible with the tandem design has also been achieved. A number of tandem devices have been made and progress continues on increasing the efficiency of the cells presently being produced.
