Physics and Technology of Amorphous-Crystalline Heterostructure Silicon Solar Cells

The challenge of developing photovoltaic (PV) technology to a cost-competitive alternative for established energy sources can be achieved using simple, high-throughput mass-production compatible processes. Issues to be addressed for large scale PV deployment in large power plants or in building inte...
