This paper is intended to give an overview of the applications of epitaxial growth to photovoltaic solar cells. In order to introduce those operating parameters which can be improved by epitaxy, we begin by describing how a solar cell functions. Then we discuss the contribution of epitaxial growth to higher cell performance through improved crystalline perfection and purity, controlled doping levels and compositions, and preparation of homo- and heteroepitaxial interfaces.
