Description:
Performance of solar cells made from various candidate silicon sheets is updated and the results are presented. Solar cells were fabricated using a baseline process and other process variations, and tested under AM1 conditions. Performance of the baseline solar cells indicates that remarkable improvements in material quality have been achieved for most of the sheets, showing efficiencies close to that of the control cells made from conventional CZ silicon. Process variations (or additions), in general, have resulted in significant improvements in all performance with a degree of change dependent on the process chosen and to a certain extent the sheet quality.
