Can ultrafine finger lines reduce metallisation losses of high-efficiency silicon wafer solar cells?
Ultrafine finger lines with high aspect ratio are proposed to reduce the front side metallisation losses of high-efficiency silicon wafer solar cells, as an easy-to-implement solution to boost the champion cell efficiency.
Can a conventional screen be used to print solar cells?
Aspect ratio of 0.63 has been achieved. Achieving the same property using conventional screen is near to impossible. Table 2 shows the average electrical properties of both the batches where batch 1 is solar cells printed with knotless screen and batch 2 is solar cells printed with conventional screens.
How to print a front grid using a conventional screen?
As per the conventional screen printing method, the front grid is printed with conventional screens which results in finger thickness of 40–50 microns. Using the printing technique with conventional screen limits the width of printed grid line because of the design limitation of the screen. In this project, we used knotless screen.
Why do solar cells need a smooth finger profile?
However, this may increase the finger contact and line resistances leading to decrease in cell efficiency. Therefore, fine line printing requires a smooth finger profile in combination with a higher aspect ratio of the finger. Worldwide many solar cell manufacturers are trying to achieve maximum aspect ratio through intensive R&D efforts.
Can solar cells be printed with knotless screens?
On the contrary, solar cells printed with knotless screens with 30 micron finger opening, the width is controlled and difference between screen opening and actual print is reduced. The height achieved is as high as ~35 microns which is quite motivating. Aspect ratio of 0.63 has been achieved.
How crystalline silicon is used in solar cell manufacturing?
In crystalline silicon (c-Si and mc-Si) solar cell manufacturing, the p -type wafers are diffused with phosphorous to form a thin n-layer (emitter) on the surface of the wafer, and thereby, a large area P–N junction is formed, which is required for separation of photo-carriers. The complete process steps for solar cell are given in Fig. 1.
