Abstract
Thin-film solar cells based on CdTe, CuInSe/sub 2/ (CIS) and Si-film have made rapid progress in the past 18 months. Total-area efficiencies of 16.8% for CIGS, 15.8% for CdTe, and 13.4% for Si-film on graphite cloth, verified by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, have been achieved thus far. The performance of thin-film modules for both CdTe and CIS have also improved markedly. Stability data for these emerging technologies is encouraging. Nominal 1-kW CIS and CdTe PV arrays have been installed and are undergoing testing. A 2-MW thin-film CdTe manufacturing plant has been installed, and another 10-MW thin-film CdTe plant is expected to be completed in 1996. A new Thin Film Partnership Program has been initiated to further advance the state-of-art of thin film technologies.
