由于化石燃料成本的快速增长和对可持续性的重新关注，太阳能电池最近获得了极大的兴趣。太阳能电池在能量收集方面的有效性取决于三个关键特征：能量转换效率、可靠性和预期寿命以及成本。所有这三个属性都受到这些器械设计和制造中固有的表面和界面特性的严重影响。本文首先阐述了太阳能电池制造，其次是效率提高，可靠性问题，成本和能源足迹减少的讨论。表面和界面改性在实现这种改进的作用进行评估。(C)2014年CIRP。
Solar cells gained significant interest recently due to the rapid increase in fossil fuel costs and renewed attention to sustainability. The effectiveness of a solar cell in energy harvesting hinges on three key characteristics: efficiency of energy conversion, reliability and life expectancy, and cost. All three attributes are critically influenced by surface and interface properties inherent in the design and manufacture of these devices. This paper starts with an exposition of solar cell manufacturing, followed by discussion of efficiency enhancement, reliability issues, and cost and energy footprint reduction. The role of surface and interface modifications in realizing such improvements is assessed. (C) 2014 CIRP.
