研究目的
To develop Ag-free low-concentrator bifacial crystalline silicon solar cells with Al-alloyed BSF and Ag-free multi-wire metallization, optimizing the sheet resistance of the Al-p+ layer for improved performance.
研究成果
The research demonstrated that thinning the Al-p+ layer to increase its sheet resistance significantly improves the performance of bifacial solar cells, with the optimal sheet resistance found to be 81 ?/sq. The developed solar cells showed promising efficiency under both front and rear illumination, with potential applications in low-concentration photovoltaic systems.
研究不足
The study is limited by the range of sheet resistances tested (14–123 ?/sq) and the specific materials and methods used, which may not cover all potential variations in solar cell design or manufacturing processes.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication of bifacial solar cells using standard commercially available SiNx/(n+pp+)Cz-Si/Al structures, with modifications to the Al-p+ layer through etching to vary its sheet resistance.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
SiNx/(n+pp+)Cz-Si/Al structures from Monocrystal Co. were used, with the Al-p+ layer thinned by one-sided etchback process to vary sheet resistance.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a conveyor belt furnace for firing, hydrochloric acid and KOH for etching, and ultrasonic spray pyrolysis for TCO layer growth. Materials included InCl3, NH4F, SnCl4, and methanol for TCO solutions, and copper wires for metallization.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process involved removing residual Al paste, etching the Al-p+ layer, growing IFO and ITO layers by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis, and attaching copper wires using low-temperature lamination.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Performance parameters were measured using a QEX10 system for EQE spectra, I–V measurements under flash illumination, and spectrophotometry for reflection spectra.
