摘要
A new type of ultralight flexible amorphous silicon (a-Si) solar cell fabricated on a transparent plastic film substrate has been developed. This flexible a-Si solar cell submodule has the world's highest power-to-weight ratio of 275 mW/g. The flexible module is a mere 0.12 mm thick and can be bent to a radius of only 5 mm. As the first application of this flexible a-Si solar cell, a solar-powered airplane has been developed. This airplane recently succeeded in a transcontinental flight across the United States setting new records for solar-powered aviation.
