The U.S. Department of Energy’s solar office and its national laboratory partners analyze cost data for U.S. solar photovoltaic systems to develop cost benchmarks to measure progress toward goals and guide research and development programs. The cost data is available in an Excel spreadsheet model that can be downloaded here.
A new method for fabricating photocells, or solar cells, substitutes copper iodide for zinc diffusion. This produces a p-type surface layer and a photovoltaic junction.
Photovoltaic properties of vapor deposited polycrystalline gallium arsenide thin films
Chemically sprayed thin film photovoltaic converters - solar cell
Photovoltaic barriers formed by depositing a layer of polycrystalline cuprous sulfide or cuprous selenide on gallium arsenide are chemically and electrically stable. The stability of these barrier materials is significantly greater than that of cuprous iodide.
Cadmium sulfide thin film photovoltaic cells
Certain charge transfer complexes formed from organic polymers and iodine generate appreciable voltages at relatively low impedances upon exposure to light. These films show promise in applications requiring chemically and electrically stable films as detectors of optical radiation and as energy converters in photovoltaic cells.
