High-performance 20-μm-thin crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cell design uses much less silicon.

Caption

High-performance 20-μm-thin crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cell design uses much less silicon. Figures from the report by Xie et al. include (left) a semi-finished c-Si cell on a flexible steel substrate; (middle) a complete cell; (right) image of a fabricated thin c-Si cell showing its flexibility.
