Pathway towards 24% efficiency for fully screen-printed passivated emitter and rear contact solar cells

Yuchao Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the efficiency potential of fully screen-printed PERC solar cells through numerical simulations, revealing significant limitations from carrier recombination losses at the metal/silicon interface. Recommendations for improvements were made to overcome these limitations and achieve higher efficiencies.

Design rules for high-efficiency both-sides-contacted silicon solar cells with balanced charge carrier transport and recombination losses

Armin Richter et al.

Summary: Front- and back-junction silicon photovoltaics dominate the market due to lower manufacturing complexity, but achieving efficiency improvements remains challenging. An optimized design by Richter et al. has led to a 26.0%-efficient cell. While interdigitated back-contact cells offer the highest efficiency, both-sides-contacted cells are preferred in industrial production for their simplicity.

TOPCon-Technology options for cost efficient industrial manufacturing

Bishal Kafle et al.

Summary: This paper discusses cost-driven strategies towards industrial manufacturing of TOPCon-based solar cells, evaluating various process routes and pointing out uneven distribution of capital and operational costs in the production process. The study finds that TOPCon concepts can remain economically competitive against bifacial PERC if a minimum absolute gain in cell efficiency is maintained.
