Optimization of Amorphous Silicon Solar Cells on Polymer Film Substrates

In this paper the authors present the results of different investigations concerning the development of a-Si:H solar cells on plastic film substrates. More precisely, this paper will discuss a) the evaluation and test of different polymer films as a suitable material for a-Si:H solar cell deposition, b) the optimisation of inverted n-i-p solar cells, and c) texturation of the plastic films by O...

Physical model of back line-contact front-junction solar cells

Inverted Silicon Nanopencil Array Solar Cells with Enhanced Contact Structures

Although three-dimensional nanostructured solar cells have attracted extensive research attention due to their superior broadband and omnidirectional light-harvesting properties, majority of them are still suffered from complicated fabrication processes as well as disappointed photovoltaic performances. Here, we employed our newly-developed, low-cost and simple wet anisotropic etching to fabric...

Multi-Material Front Contact for 19% Thin Film Solar Cells

The trade-off between transmittance and conductivity of the front contact material poses a bottleneck for thin film solar panels. Normally, the front contact material is a metal oxide and the optimal cell configuration and panel efficiency were determined for various band gap materials, representing Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ (CIGS), CdTe and high band gap perovskites. Supplementing the metal oxide with a me...
