Zheng, Yi (author)Silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cell technology is one of the most promising PV technologies because of its high power conversion efficiencies, simple fabrication process and low manufacturing cost. The current world record efficiency of SHJ solar cell reaches up to 26.81%. SHJ solar cell produces the highest VOC over 750 mV among the c-Si...master thesis 2023

AMARNATH, ASWATHY (author)Carrier selective passivating contacts (CSPC) have proven to effectively curtail the recombination losses emerging at directly metallised contacts of crystalline Silicon (c-Si) solar cells. CSPCs enabled using an ultra-thin interfacial tunnel oxide layer (SiOx) capped by a doped polycrystalline Silicon (poly-Si) layer also referred to as Tunnel...master thesis 2021

Franco, Leo (author)The poly-Si IBC topology is one of the most promising silicon solar cell designs and has already achieved >26% efficiency. In this work we optimise the front surface field (FSF) and apply rear hydrogenation to the poly-Si IBC structure developed by the TU Delft PVMD group. An investigation is also made of a PECVD tunnel oxide as a replacement...master thesis 2019
