Scientific paper

The possibility of the direct fabrication of solar cells on the lunar surface by the vacuum evaporation of lunar regolith is examined as an alternative approach to electric power generation on the surface of the moon. The raw materials for large-scale solar cell growth could be available from the waste products generated in regolith processing for volatiles collection and oxygen extraction. The production of vast areas of solar cells can be implemented through a self-generation process whereby the power generated by grown cells is used to produce more cells.
