Abstract

Large-area deposition of thin-film amorphous silicon alloy triple-junction solar cells on lightweight and flexible stainless steel substrate is described. The proprietary roll-to-roll operation enables continuous depositions of sophisticated multi-layer structures. The deposition methods include sputtering and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor depositions. Spectrumsplitting triple-junction solar cell design, manufacturing processes, and product applications are presented.
