In article number 1702221 , Muhammad M. Hussain and co‐workers demonstrate corrugation architecture enabled ultra‐flexible (140 mm bending radius), high performance (17.2% photovoltaic efficiency) crystalline silicon solar cells (each cell area 1276.2 mm 2 ) on a five‐inch wafer via a lithography‐less Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) compatible technique. The power conversion efficiency is comparable to the rigid Interdigitated Back Contact (IBC) module efficiency. The cells withstand 20% strain.
