Glass-Si heterojunction solar cells
An increase in efficiency from 2% to over 7% was achieved by a solar cell that used polycrystal silicon heterojunction with SnO2 glass. For Single crystal substrates, efficiencies close to 10% were measured. These cells had the same structures as polycrystalline cells. Work on p+/n heterojunction using In2O3 glass resulted in cells of 3% efficiency on polycrystalline material and 4% efficiency on single crystal material.
