Abstract

Crystalline silicon solar cells, only 10 μm thick, with a peak conversion efficiency of 15.7% are reported by G. Chen and co-workers on page 2182. Efficient crystalline silicon photovoltaics of such thinness are enabled by an advanced light-trapping design incorporating a two-dimensional inverted pyramid photonic crystal.
