Abstract
The concept of a cumulative solar photovoltaic power generation system utilizing a solar-powered thin film solar cell fabrication process in space has been proposed. The special properties of the space environment (in particular the steady solar energy density, ultrahigh vacuum and microgravity) are fully utilized for thin film solar cell production by the proposed new type of molecular beam graphoepitaxy method. The new technology might enable us to produce very-large-area high efficiency heteroface solar cells in space. The proposed system might work much more economically than the present space transportation plan for a satellite solar power station and could meet a large number of potential energy demands both for space missions and for terrestrial energy resources in the future.
