Abstract: The results of a workshop on the Stability of (Thin Film) Solar Cells and Materials are reviewed from a measurements perspective.Solar cells of the following three material groupings were considered at the workshop:(1) CU 2 S/ [ CdZn] S , Cu-ternaries/CdS , InP/CdS, and amorphous Si; (2) polycrystalline, MIS, and conducting-oxide Si; and, (3) polycrystalline and AMOS GaAs .Considering the relative state of immaturity of these developing cells and the goal for high reliability and stability, two general areas of work are recommended.One is to develop an improved understanding of cell operation and of component structures of these cells.The other is to develop an improved measurements base.Specific needs and recommendations are provided.
