The present invention is directed toward a method for fabricating low-defect nanostructures of wide bandgap materials and to optoelectronic devices, such as light emitting sources and lasers, based on them. The invention utilizes nanolithographically-defined templates to form nanostructures of wide bandgap materials that are energetically unfavorable for dislocation formation. In particular, this invention provides a method for the fabrication of phosphor-less monolithic white light emitting diodes and laser diodes that can be used for general illumination and other applications.

Photovoltaic devices that include a transparent substrate; a plurality of thin film layers defining a plurality of photovoltaic cells connected in series to each other on the transparent substrate; a first lead connected to one of the photovoltaic cells; and an encapsulation substrate on the plurality of thin film layers are provided. The encapsulation substrate defines a connection aperture through which the first lead extends. A support insert, which defines a plug portion and a flange, can be positioned within the connection aperture such that the flange extends over the back surface of the encapsulation substrate. The support insert can be configured to mechanically support the transparent substrate in an area opposite to the connection aperture while still enabling the first lead to extend through the connection aperture while the support insert is in place within the connection aperture.
