Silicon sulfide is the base material for a novel class of fast Li conductors for use in solid state battery applications [124, 125]. The material also can be used in infrared transparent fibers and films [126, 127]. A compound of the composition SiS iH (j =...

A typical 100-cm silicon cell produces a maximum current of just under 3 amps at a voltage of around 0.5 volts. Since many PV applications involve charging lead-acid batteries, which have a typical nominal voltage of 12 volts, the solar modules often consist of around 36 individual cells wired in series to ensure that the voltage is usually above 13 volts which is enough to charge a 12 volt battery even on overcast days. 

Functional fibres, filaments and yams are the basic building blocks of electrotextiles. The textile industry has demonstrated a remarkable capability to incorporate both natural and man-made filaments into yarns and fabrics to satisfy a wide range of physical parameters which survive the manufacturing process and are tailored to specific application environments. Electronic components can be fabricated within and/or on the surface of filaments and can subsequently be processed into functional yams and woven into fabrics. Passive components such as resistors, capacitors and inductors can be fabricated in several different manners. Diodes and transistors can be made on long, thin, flat strands of silicon or formed in a coaxial way. Progress has been made in the development of fibre batteries and fibre-based solar cells. In addition, a variety of actuated materials (piezoelectric, etc.) can be made into multiple long strands (filaments) and subsequently be woven into fabric. 

Commercialization of amorphous silicon solar cells started in 1980 when Sanyo introduced calculators powered only by small solar-cell panels (total area 5 cm2). Shortly thereafter, Fuji Electric also started producing a-Si H solar cells for calculators. As of 1983, a-Si H photovoltaic devices are produced for several other applications such as photodetectors, power supplies for watches, and NiCd battery chargers. Before the end of 1984 one may see a-Si H solar panels used in larger-scale applications such as irrigation and remote electrification.
