1. A process for producing monolithic solar cells, comprising the steps of:

  • coupling an amorphous silicon thin film semiconductor to a copper indium polycrystalline semiconductor by depositing said copper indium polycrystalline semiconductor on a substrate selected from the group consisting of a vitreous substrate and a metal substrate;

    depositing an n-type conductor on said polycrystalline semiconductor; and

    depositing said amorphous silicon thin film semiconductor on said n-type conductor wherein said amorphous thin film semiconductor comprises one or more of a p-i-n or n-i-p amorphous silicon-containing thin film semiconductor.
