Composite material incorporating protective coatings for photovoltaic
The described fiber-cell stack was then covered by a peel ply and electrical connectors were retrieved out through the fibers and peel ply. After vacuum bag sealing, the resin infusion was carried out, leading to photovoltaic monomodules with one cell encapsulated in composite material. These monomodules were 200mmx200mm size with planar geometry.

Why can solar cells be made of indirect and direct semiconductors
$begingroup$ Would Electrical Engineering be a better home for this question? $endgroup$ If you compare the design of a GaAs (direct material) solar cell to a Si (indirect material) then you will find that Silicon cells are much thicker: on the order of hundreds of microns. This is done to compensate for much weaker absorption.
