摘要
A systematic approach has been used to scale up high efficiency 0.25cm(2) active-area amorphous Si alloy based triple-junction devices to high-efficiency encapsulated modules of aperture area similar to 920cm(2). In order to analyze the losses involved in the scaleup, intermediate aperture area, 40cm(2) and 450cm(2), modules have also been fabricated. The best stable active-area efficiency obtained on the small-area cells is 12.9%. The best initial efficiency of a similar to 920cm(2) aperture area encapsulated module is 12.1%. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has independently light soaked three of the similar to 920cm(2) modules. They have measured a stable efficiency of 10.5% which represents a new world record. This paper presents various aspects of the large-area module work.
