Abstract :
A co-operative research project in Germany is dealing with defects in multicrystalline and Czochralski silicon and their influence on the solar cell performance. The areas of research of the co-operating institutions and the contribution of the German photovoltaic industry are outlined. A few examples of scientific results are given
