A new lightweight solar cellHighly reproducible, very thin (40-80 microns thick) silicon solar cells are examined. These cells are the product of silicon thinning techniques that produce very flexible, resilient slices as compared to other techniques. Measurements on solar cells 2 cm by 2 cm by 50 microns thick producing 60 mW or more at AM0 are described. These cells have fine-line metallizations, tantalum oxide antireflection coatings and back-surface aluminum alloy.
