Productivity Enhancement for Manufacturing of Amorphous Silicon PV Modules: Final Technical Report, 1 July 2002--30 June 2003

Description: During Phase I, EPV conducted parallel research efforts for achieving higher stabilized module power output through improvements in several manufacturing processing steps, with particular emphasis on the thin-film deposition process. The dual goals of achieving a 10% gain in stabilized output and a 20% reduction in direct costs were accomplished. Early in Phase I, a thorough evaluation of single-junction and tandem amorphous silicon (a-Si) modules was carried out with the goal of determining th… more
