The EU crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV manufacturing industry has faced strong foreign competition in the last decade. To strive in this competitive environment and differentiate itself from the competition, the EU c-Si PV manufacturing industry needs to (1) focus on highly perform ...
In this study, the edge passivation effectiveness and long-term stability of Nafion polymer in n-type interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar cells are investigated. For new module technologies such as half-cut, triple-cut, or shingled modules, cutting of the cells introduces unp ...
The issue of climate change, including global warming, poses a significant challenge to our planet. In response to this challenge, the Paris Agreement was signed, which aims to limit the rise in global temperatures to well below 2 ◦C and pursue efforts to limit it even further to ...
The high usage of silver in industrial solar cells may limit the growth of the solar industry. One solution is to replace Ag with copper. A screen printable Cu paste is used herein to metallize industrial interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar cells. A novel metallization struct ...
The edge recombination losses of crystalline silicon solar cells become significant when they are cut into smaller pieces to be assembled into modules. With the interdigitated pattern of doped p and n regions on the rear side, the interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar cells can ...
Industrial bifacial n-type front and back contact (nFAB) silicon solar cells, consisting of a boron-doped p+ emitter and a phosphorus-doped n+ back surface field (BSF), are known to give good bifaciality, high and stabilized efficiency. One possible approach to further enhance th ...
