| 20110186110 | THIN-FILM SOLAR CELL SYSTEM AND METHOD OF APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING A THIN-FILM SOLAR CELL - A method for manufacturing a thin-film solar cell includes providing a first conducting layer on a substrate that has an area at least 0.75 m2. The first conducting layer is located in a deposition portion of the area. An ultraviolet laser beam is applied through a lens to the first conducting layer. Portions of the first conducting layer are scribed form a trench through the layer. The lens focuses the beam and has a focal length at least 100 mm. The focused beam includes an effective portion effective for the scribing and an ineffective portion ineffective for the scribing. The substrate sags and the first conducting layer remains in the effective portion of the focused beam across the area during the step of applying. One or more active layers are provided on the first conducting layer. A second conducting layer is provided on the one or more active layers. | 08-04-2011 |

| 20100313932 | METHOD FOR OBTAINING HIGH PERFORMANCE THIN FILM DEVICES DEPOSITED ON HIGHLY TEXTURED SUBSTRATES - The present invention provides an improved thin film solar cell, wherein at least one additional resistive transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer is incorporated into the solar cell. The additional resistive TCO electrically separates the conductive TCO layers acting as electrodes of such a cell and thus decreases or prevents performance losses. Furthermore, methods for the production of such solar cells are disclosed. | 12-16-2010 |
