Towards bifacial silicon heterojunction solar cells with reduced TCO use

Reducing indium consumption, which is related to the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) use, is a key challenge for scaling up silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cell technology to terawatt level. In this work, we developed bifacial SHJ solar cells with reduced TCO thickness. We present three types of In₂O₃-based TCOs,...

Advanced Bifacial Solar Cell with Poly-Si Passivating Contacts

As a new face of PV industry, bifacial technology offers the utmost utilization of reflected light while efforts are still required to further improve its cell efficiency. The objective of this thesis project is to fabricate bifacial solar cell with poly-Si passivating contacts only underneath metal grids. An advanced bifacial architecture is...
