TL;DR: In this article, an overview of current industrial technologies, near future improvements and medium term developments in the field of industrially implementable crystalline silicon solar cell fabrication is given. And a lot of effort is being put worldwide on thinner substrates and on thin-film crystalline solar cells deposited on cheap carriers, in order to save in substrate cost and to gain more independence from availability problems of silicon feedback.

TL;DR: In this paper, radial heterojunction solar cells of amorphous silicon on crystalline silicon microwires with high surface passivation were reported, which achieved a photocurrent of ∼30 mA/cm2, and the same time, voltages close to 600 mV.

TL;DR: In this paper, annealing of mesoporous TiO 2 nanoparticles has been used to improve the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) in photovoltaic liquid DSSCs.

TL;DR: In this paper, a tunable radio frequency microelectromechanical system inductor based on the bimorph effect of an amorphous silicon (a-Si) and aluminum structural layer is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the development of multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) solar cells at laboratory level to improve process technology, growth methods, and material improvement techniques to deliver better devices at lower cost.
