Biaxially-textured photovoltaic film on glass

‘HOT’ Communication

Charles Teplin and colleagues have grown biaxially textured heteroepitaxial crystal silicon (c-Si) films on display glass, which could be used as a low-cost material for photovoltaics. They have fabricated a proof-of-concept c-Si solar cell, with an open circuit voltage of 375 mV.
