Crystalline silicon solar cells are a proven renewable energy technology, but they have yet to reach low costs commensurate with subsidy-free, grid-scale adoption. To achieve the widespread adoption of photovoltaics, the cost per unit of electricity must be reduced by increasing solar cell efficiency. Parts per trillion concentrations of iron impurities in the silicon material can severely limi...
We propose a design to confine light absorption in flat and ultra-thin amorphous silicon solar cells with a one-dimensional silver grating embedded in the front window of the cell. We show numerically that multi-resonant light trapping is achieved in both TE and TM polarizations. Each resonance is analyzed in detail and modeled by Fabry-Perot resonances or guided modes via grating coupling. Thi...
This paper presents the characterization and analysis of a 16.8%-efficient 18 um silicon solar cell on steel substrate. Photoluminescence (PL) is used to monitor the solar cell’s fabrication step by step, and a correlation between PL intensity and implied open circuit voltage is established. PL images yield spatially resolved maps of key electrical parameters such as dark reverse saturation cur...
Perovskite-on-silicon tandem solar cells show potential to reach > 30% conversion efficiency, but require careful optical control. We introduce here an effective light-management scheme based on the established pyramidal texturing of crystalline silicon cells. Calculations show that conformal deposition of a thin film perovskite solar cell directly onto the textured front surface of a high effi...
The nanostructuring of silicon surfaces--known as black silicon--is a promising approach to eliminate front-surface reflection in photovoltaic devices without the need for a conventional antireflection coating. This might lead to both an increase in efficiency and a reduction in the manufacturing costs of solar cells. However, all previous attempts to integrate black silicon into solar cells ha...
Laser Scribing: a Key Enabling Technology for Manufacturing of Low Cost Thin Film Photovoltaic Cells
Solar cells are becoming a highly promising alternative energy source for various markets. In the last five years or so a tremendous amount of research effort has been put into increasing the efficiency of solar cell technology and reducing its manufacturing cost. It is believed that success in both of these areas will further propel its use in various markets. The two major structures commerci...
With an amorphous silicon (a-Si:H)/crystalline silicon (c-Si) heterojunction structure, the heterojunction with intrinsic thin-layer (HIT) solar cell has become one of the most promising technologies for c-Si based solar cells. By replacing a-Si:H thin films with appropriate compound semiconductors, we propose novel heterojunction structures which allow c-Si heterojunction solar cells to posses...
Solar energy is only renewable energy source that does not depend on earth's resources. Current industrial manufacturing of solar cells use manufacturing steps that have many sustainable issues. So it becomes very important to promote technologies that are more sustainable than current state of the art. This paper will look into prospects of microwave heating for silicon solar cell fabrication ...
Bulk crystalline Silicon solar cells are covering more than 85% of the world’s roof top module installation in 2010. With a growth rate of over 30% in the last 10 years this technology remains the working horse of solar cell industry. The full Aluminum back-side field (Al BSF) technology has been developed in the 90’s and provides a production learning curve on module price of constant 20% in a...
