Research paper thumbnail of Exfoliated ∼25μm Si Foil for Solar Cells with Improved Light-Trapping

MRS Proceedings, 2013

The ease of process flow and the rugged and flexible nature of the substrates due to thick metal backing enables use of various light-trapping and optical absorption enhancement schemes traditionally practiced in the industry for thicker (>120μm) substrates. Optical measurement of solar cells using antireflective coating, texturing on both surfaces, and back surface dielectric/metal stack as mirror to reflect the long wavelength light from the back surface show a very low front surface reflectance of 4.6% in the broadband spectrum (300nm-1200nm). The illuminated current voltage (IV) and external quantum efficiency (EQE) measurement of such solar cell shows a high i...

Research paper thumbnail of A Novel Low-Cost Method for Fabricating Bifacial Solar Cells

The method combines benefits of lithography-less, self-aligned patterning during deposition of antireflective coating (ARC) and simultaneous metallization of both surfaces aided by electroplating. We have fabricated a conventional diffused n + pp + junction bifacial solar cell on a monocrystalline silicon (c-Si) substrate using this method. Electrochemically grown nickel is used to simultaneously form front and back electrodes. The bifacial solar cell fabricated with an un-optimized process has a front and rear efficiencies (under AM1.5G one sun illumination) of 12% and 8.66%, respectively. Part of the low performance of the cell is attributed to poor quality of the passivation layer and the post deposition annealing to reduce pinholes in deposited SiN x layer to prevent parasitic plating.

Research paper thumbnail of Single heterojunction solar cells on exfoliated flexible ∼25 μm thick mono-crystalline silicon substrates

Applied Physics Letters, 2013

Optical and electrical measurements demonstrate maintained structural integrity of these flexible substrates. Among several single heterojunction ∼25 μm thick solar cells fabricated with un-optimized processes, the highest open circuit voltage of 603 mV, short circuit current of 34.4 mA/cm2, and conversion efficiency of 14.9% are achieved separately on three different cells. Preliminary reliability test results that include thermal shock and highly accelerated stress tests are also shown to demonstrate compatibility of this technology for use in photovoltaic modules.
