Solar cell is fabricated on commerical sheet-steel substrate passivated with tungsten layer. Layer prevents constituents of steel from interacting with semiconductor materials in MOS thin-film solar cell. Thin plating of nickel on steel improves bonding of tungsten. Use of steel as substrate reduces materials cost of solar cell construction.
