Report presents theoretical analysis of cracking in Si and GaAs solar photovoltaic cells subjected to bending or twisting. Analysis also extended to predict critical sizes for cracks in Ge substrate coated with thin film of GaAs. Analysis leads to general conclusions. Approach and results of study useful in development of guidelines for acceptance or rejection of slightly flawed cells during manufacture.
