Thin-film polycrystalline CdS/Cu <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> S cells with energy conversion efficiencies exceeding 8.5 percent have been developed. The improvement over previously achieved efficiencies is the result of cell design and fabrication changes made in response to detailed quantitative modeling and analysis of the cell operation.
