1. Evaluation of the Electrical Characteristics of Thin-Film Solar Cells at United Solar Ovonics Troy, Michigan Carolyn Hartzell September 24, 2010

2. Thin-Film solar cells Adhesive mounting and flexibility great for applications House in Germany QinetQ Zephyr

3. Triple Junction Solar Cell Three different cells combined in series – layered Performance variables: Pmax, Isc, Voc, FF, Rs, Efficiency Efficiency: Can calculate from power output and area More informatively, can calculate each individual cell, and combine

4. Spire Project: Solar simulator – Problem: spectrum mismatch – Solution: blue filter – Other tasks: optimize, determine calibration procedure

5. Outdoor Modules Project:

6. Outdoor Modules Data Analysis:
