Abstract
A solar cell that incorporates a thin layer of transparent silicate, and a number of techniques for fabricating the thin layer of transparent silicate, are presented. The transparent silicate may be a protective coverglass on the solar cell or solar panel. Fabricating the coverglass may include vaporizing iron-depleted lunar regolith to produce vaporized transparent silicate and allowing the vaporized transparent silicate to condense onto a solar panel to form the coverglass. Vaporizing the iron-depleted lunar regolith to produce the vaporized transparent silicate may involve directing an electron beam onto the iron-depleted lunar regolith in a process of electron-beam physical vapor deposition (EBPVD). The iron-depleted lunar regolith may be electrolyte of a molten electrolysis process.
