This paper describes the various aspects of photovoltaic developments in Taiwan, which include applications of space and terrestrial solar cells, solar cell production and research on advanced thin‐film solar cell materials. The advanced materials are hydrogenated polycrystalline silicon films deposited at low substrate temperatures and ternary chalcopyrite films with the potential for intrinsically stable and ultra‐high‐efficiency solar cells having a conversion efficiency in the vicinity of AMI 35%. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
