Abstract
In a solar cell comprising first and second members opposite other and an amorphous silicon lamina interposed between the first and the second members, a predetermined one of the first and the second members comprises a transparent conductive layer having an average particle size between 300 and 900 angstroms. The transparent conductive layer is positioned between the amorphous silicon lamina and a transparent insulative substrate (11) directed towards light when the first member is transparent while the transparent conductive layer is overlaid on the amorphous silicon layer and directed towards the light when the second member is transparent. The transparent conductive layer may comprise indium oxide, tin oxide, indium tin oxide, or the like.
