The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Solar photovoltaic electricity: Current status and future prospects (2011, background): “For detailed descriptions of TCOs and light scattering, see Goetzberger et al. (2003) Muller et al. (2004), Granqvist (2003), and Shah et al. (2004).”
Beyond the learning curve: factors influencing cost reductions in photovoltaics (2006, background): “Wafers cut from silicon ingots comprised of multiple crystals (poly-crystalline) rather than individual crystals (mono-crystalline) have accounted for an increasing share of world production (Costello and Rappaport, 1980; Maycock, 1994, 2002, 2003; Menanteau, 2000; JPEA, 2002; Goetzberger et al., 20”
Solar energy harvesting with the application of nanotechnology (2013, background): “A better understanding of the surface and junction properties of materials can lead to the development of various devices and result in new perspectives on ternary thin-film solar cells [98].”
Effect of dust, humidity and air velocity on efficiency of photovoltaic cells (2012, background): “To maximize photo current the number of photons absorbed in either junction itself or the diffusion length should be increased [3,12].”
