    Abstract

    The potential of CdTe/CdS/Cd1-xZnxS structure as an alternative to CdTe/CdS structure in photovoltaic application has been demonstrated. The unoptimized solar cell structure grown on transparent conducting oxide coated soda lime glass of 3 mm thickness with no antireflection coating yielded a 10% efficiency. This efficiency is the highest ever recorded in any Cd1-xZnxS film containing CdTe solar cells. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
