Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a solar cell on a polycarbonate substrate, which comprises: creating a polycarbonate substrate for a solar cell, wherein the polycarbonate substrate contains borosilicate hollow glass spheres additive; depositing a low resistivity cathodic contact layer on the polycarbonate substrate; depositing a photonic energy absorbing layer with a sputter chamber comprising a quaternary CIGS sputter target; using a modulated high intensity pulsed xenon flashlamp; depositing a buffer layer; depositing a highly resistive transmissive intrinsic layer; depositing a transmissive contact oxide window layer; adding anodic contacts to one of the layers; depositing an anti-reflective coating layer; and encapsulating the solar cell to provide environmental protection.
