Efficiency Improvement of HIT Solar Cells on p-Type Si Wafers

Abstract

Single crystal silicon solar cells are still predominant in the market due to the abundance of silicon on earth and their acceptable efficiency. Different solar-cell structures of single crystalline Si have been investigated to boost efficiency; the heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) structure is currently the leading technology. The record efficiency values of state-of-the art HIT solar cells have always been based on n-type single-crystalline Si wafers. Improving the efficiency of cells based on p-type single-crystalline Si wafers could provide broader options for the development of HIT solar cells. In this study, we varied the thickness of intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous Si layer to improve the efficiency of HIT solar cells on p-type Si wafers.

Effects of Chamber Pressures on the Passivation Layer of Hydrogenated Nano-Crystalline Silicon Mixed-Phase Thin Film by Using Microwave Annealing

“…The 20 nm intrinsic nc-Si:H was deposited on the top and bottom of the c-Si substrate. In applying the symmetric structure, the passivation layer of nc-Si:H played a crucial role in reducing the surface recombination and defects at an interface between the highly doped crystalline thin film and the c-Si substrate [40]. The 40.68 MHz VHFPECVD process is illustrated in Figure 2.…”

Determination of optimal load parameters for efficient operation of silicon solar battery

“…Єдиний, але суттєвий мінус, -полікристалічні СБ мають нижчий ККД (12-18 %), рис. 2, б. Причина полягає в тому, що всередині полікристала утворюються області із зернистими межами, які і призводять до зменшення ефективності елементів [9].…”
