“…At Low Sf value, the solar cell operates under open circuit condition. It is indicated on all the figures(2,3,4) that the photocurrent remained zero. Then when Sf increases, the photocurrent increases until reaching a plateau, which corresponds to the short circuit currentregardless of the flow of irradiation, its intensity or the thickness of the base.…”

“…An innovation reported in 1977 by Chevalier and Chambouleyron was a device in which the rear metal grid made contact to the substrate, while the rest of the rear surface was passivated (and unmetallized) [26]. Notable contributions to bifacial cells including rear-surface diffusions and improved cell efficiencies came from the University of Madrid [27], [28], the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, Comsat, Solarex, and AEG Telefunken. In 1988, Knobloch et al reported bifacial cell test structures with a widely spaced Fig.…”

This paper reviews the development of the passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) silicon solar cell in the 1980s, which set several efficiency records, but was not taken up commercially at the time. Following extensive development of suitable fabrication processes, materials, and production tools, the PERC solar cell is now on track to become the dominant commercial solar cell. Since photovoltaics (PV) itself is on track to become the dominant energy generation technology, the PERC is having a global impact in both energy generation and greenhouse gas emission reduction. Assuming an average growth rate of annual PV installations of 25%, PV mitigation of greenhouse gases will reach about 5% in 2022, including 2% from PERCs, with much higher values expected later in the 2020s. This review focuses on the period of development of the PERC during the 1980s.
