A thin-film silicon solar cell and module [PDF]
We have developed a new light-trapping scheme for a thin-film Si stacked module (Si HYBRID PULS module), where a (a-Si:H/transparent interlayer/microcrystalline Si) thin-film was integrated into a large-area solar cell module. An initial aperture efficiency of 13.1% has been achieved for a 910 × 455mm Si HYBRID PLUS module, which was independently ...
