Solar cells fabricated with unconventional silicon materialsSolar cells have been fabricated using silicon materials supplied in the DOE/JPL Large Solar Array program. Each of the silicon materials studied in this program was produced in a unique manner and with intent of producing silicon in a grade and form that would offer the possibility of economic deployment in photovoltaic arrays for generation of electricity. This report will attempt to provide an overview of the results for some of the materials and highlight in particular results obtained for solar cells fabricated from the advanced CZ silicon. Emphasis will be given to consideration of the purity of virgin silicon material used in the heat exchange method.
