  1. Light-Weight Flexible Thin Film Solar Cells for Space Applications Small Business Innovation Research International Solar Electric Technology Inglewood, CA INNOVATION Light-Weight, High Power Density Thin Film Solar Cells on Flexible Substrates • ACCOMPLISHMENTS • Produced polycrystalline copper-indium-diselenide (CIS) solar cells on flexible metal foils • Work led to an Air Force-supported project that resulted in the demonstration for the first time of CIS solar cells with over 1 kW/kg power density on polymeric substrates • Received innovation award from NASA • COMMERCIALIZATION • A joint experimental effort is in progress with a multinational company to produce the cells on a specific light weight substrate • Received over $3M Advanced Technology Program contract for communications applications of these devices Flexible Copper-Indium-Diselenide Solar Cells • GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE APPLICATIONS • Very attractive for many NASA, commercial and military satellite power applications • Useful for terrestrial applications where light weight and flexibility of solar cell is desired 1990 Phase II, NAS3-26615, 12/98 NASA Contact - Henry Curtis Company Contact - Bulent Basol Lewis Research Center Space Power 3-027
