The article seems overly detailed on this topic, given that there is a separate article focused on it. I propose we move the details to Thin film solar cell. Lfstevens ( talk) 03:54, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
The latest NREL solar cell efficiency chart is now available again from WikiCommons: PVeff(rev140627).jpg. Could someone add this back to the Efficiency section of the Solar Cell article and the Solar Cell Efficiency article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dgwinner ( talk • contribs) 18:57, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
I will start to revise large parts of this article in the next few weeks. Pls help me with your feedback and copy-edit skills whenever you can. Intermediate steps include:
Plz add your ideas and make constructive suggestions. Older comments on this talk page are rather disencouraging. Thx -- Rfassbind ( talk) 15:29, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Shouldn't this and 'solar panel' be merged? Or are they completely diffrent things? Can someone please tell me McTreevil ( talk) 13:43, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
The article gives I think a bit too much prominence to Elliot Berman and Exxon Solar Power Corporation, who were by no means the only player in developing low cost photovoltaics. I would like to challenge this statement (under price reductions), however: "In late 1969, Elliot Berman was investigating organic solar cells, when he joined a team at Exxon SPC who were looking for projects 30 years in the future." (SPC = Solar Power Corporation). Exxon didn't exist in 1969. This timeline [3] dates Exxon Solar Power Corporation to 1975. Geoffrey.landis ( talk) 23:24, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

it must be noted that large tracts of this article are entirely uncited. This is particularly true in the highly mathematical and physics-based sections, as well as some of the more commercial and recent-ist claims. Surely, so much of this article was not written merely from memory or guesswork? This could by a symptom of serious problems in the article and needs addressing.
Apart from the lead, which may be considered an exception, particularly uncited sections are:
That is a huge list of largely uncited sections for one article! -- Nigelj ( talk) 17:30, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
Here is a suggestion for a "Tandem Solar Cells" citation. This needs to be reviewed before inclusion IMO. http://plasticphotovoltaics.org/lc/lc-polymersolarcells/lc-tandem.html 98.125.209.52 ( talk) 06:24, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
Well, I must say that it occurs very rarely that "our" German Wikipedia articles are light years better than their English equivalents. However, this time it is the truth: de:Solarzelle#Umweltschutz. What, in contrary to that, has this English article been turning to over the years from its creation back in 2006? To me it's a PR pamphlet written by solar cell enthusiasts. Or why are the environmental aspects mentioned nowhere? The toxicity of cadmium; the highly problematic residues from SC production; the greenhouse effect provoked by the gases used in the lavation phase; and ... and ... Everything reads as if solar cells are the most eco-friendly thing ever. Well, once in use, YES; but while they're produced, residue accumulates that has to be treated in a special way. Some of them might (assuming!) even produce toxic waste, i. e. relics with long-lasting effects. -andy 77.190.46.74 ( talk) 11:52, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Although Selenium Cell redirects here, there's not a lot of information about it in the article. Even German Wikipedia has a dedicated article: de:Selenzelle-- 95.90.180.113 ( talk) 20:51, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
