Abstract :
A 200 μm thick fully glass-encapsulated a-Si:H solar cell is demonstrated. The cell structure is 75 μm glass foil superstrate/a-Si,N:H diffusion barrier/specular ZnO:Al/a-Si:H pin solar cell/Al. The solar cell is encapsulated with 50 μm ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and another 75 μm glass foil. The current-voltage characteristics of a 0.24 cm2 cell measured under AM1.5 (100 mW/cm2) light give VOC=0.83 V, JSC=11.1 mA/cm2, and FF=0.61, for an initial efficiency of 5.6%
