They also have hopes that when the efficiency of the amorphous silicon photovoltaic cells improves in the future, it may become possible to mass-produce the si PV cells by using a roll-to-roll method.

他们希望将来，当非晶态硅光伏电池的光电转化效率提高后，能利用卷到卷式的生产方式进行大规模的硅光伏电池的生产。

While most silicon solar cells have been rendered inert by the time the temperature reaches 100 degrees Celsius, the PETE device doesn't hit peak efficiency until it is well over 200 degrees c.

大部分太阳能硅电池在温度到达100摄氏度已呈现惰性，而PETE设备在远超过200摄氏度的情况下还没到达效率峰值。
