TL;DR: In this paper, a hetero-junction organic solar cell coupled with electrochemically deposited CdS and 2,9-dimethyl quinacridone pigment was fabricated.
Abstract: A hetero-junction organic solar cell coupled with electrochemically deposited CdS and 2,9-dimethyl quinacridone pigment was fabricated. Open-circuit voltage of 0.61 V and short-circuit photocurrent of 127 μA/cm2 with large fill-factor of 0.32 were obtained under 71 mW/cm2 white light, giving conversion efficiency of 0.04%. No fatigue was observed over a month continuous irradiation of 15 mW/cm2.

TL;DR: In this paper, a GaAsP top solar cell mechanically stacked on a conventional silicon solar cell was used to achieve high conversion efficiencies with a realistic maximum of 294 percent when both the top and bottom solar cells are state of the art.
Abstract: Preliminary results are encouraging for the achievement of high conversion efficiencies using a GaAsP top solar cell mechanically stacked on a conventional silicon solar cell A realistic maximum of 294 percent is suggested when both the top and bottom solar cells are state of the art Practical system efficiencies greater than 25 percent are attainable in the near future with the use of a state of the art bottom solar cell

TL;DR: In this article, high efficiency silicon solar cells with efficiencies ranging from 17 to 17.7 percent were processed on low resistivity FZ substrates using techniques recently developed for high efficiency terrestrial solar cells.
Abstract: Silicon solar cells with efficiencies ranging from 17 to 17.7 percent are described. These cells were processed on low-resistivity FZ substrates using techniques recently developed for high efficiency terrestrial solar cells. Preliminary results indicate that the high efficiency cell is more susceptible to radiation damage in that it retains a smaller proportion of its original power output when compared to conventional space cells after exposure to 5 times 10 to the 14th power 1 MeV electrons. However, the cell does maintain a greater overall power output than the conventional cells to which it was compared. Furthermore, this cell does not demonstrate post-electron irradiation photon decay as has been described for cells processed on 1-10 ohm-cm float zone silicon.
