Retrospective Benefit-Cost Evaluation of DOE Investment in Photovoltaic Energy Systems

“…The first subcontract resulted in the largest cell ever produced at that time, and surpassed production capacity goals. Gains in module power and reductions in cost per wafer came as a result of better silicon material use efficiency, an improved gettering sequence, and the use of larger sheets of wafer material (Collins et al, 1996).…”
