Average Reflectance

Using the simple and cost-effective methods, spin-coated ZrO2-polymer composite/spray-deposited TiO2-compact multilayer antireflection coating film was introduced. With a single TiO2-compact film on the surface of a crystalline silicon wafer, 5.3% average reflectance (the reflectance average between the wavelengths of 300 nm and 1100 nm) was observed. Reflectance decreased further down to 3.3% after forming spin-coated ZrO2on the spray-deposited TiO2-compact film. Silicon solar cells were fabricated using CZ-Si p-type wafers in three sets: (1) without antireflection coating (ARC) layer, (2) with TiO2-compact ARC film, and (3) with ZrO2-polymer composite/TiO2-compact multilayer ARC film. Conversion efficiency of the cells improved by a factor of 0.8% (from 15.19% to 15.88%) owing to the multilayer ARC.Jscwas improved further by 2 mA cm−2(from 35.3 mA cm−2to 37.2 mA cm−2) when compared with a single TiO2-compact ARC.

Commercial Applications

At present, the improvement in performance and the reduction of cost for crystalline silicon solar cells are a key for photovoltaic industry. Passivated emitter and rear cells are the most promising technology for next-generation commercial solar cells. The efficiency gains of passivated emitter and rear cells obtained on monocrystalline silicon wafer and multicrystalline silicon wafer are different. People are puzzled as to how to develop next-generation industrial cells. In this paper, both monocrystalline and multicrystalline silicon solar cells for commercial applications with passivated emitter and rear cells structure were fabricated by using cost-effective process. It was found that passivated emitter and rear cells are more effective for monocrystalline silicon solar cells than for multicrystalline silicon solar cells. This study gives some hints about the industrial-scale mass production of passivated emitter and rear cells process.

PPhotovoltaic electricity (PV) is a free and clean source of renewable energy and presents a solution for many of the socio-economic problems of both first world and third world communities. Large-scale introduction of PV is currently hampered by the high cost of solar cells. At present crystalline silicon solar cells dominate the world market. These cells consist of flat wafers pure Si with a p-n junction and the technology is almost perfected with cell efficiencies of 24%. The efficiency of poly-crystalline wafers is somewhat lower but they are more cost effective.
