The present work is focusing on the development of a silicon solar cell specifically designed for CPV, which is based on a simplified and reliable CMOS-like manufacturing process. The proposed technology is derived by a simple single-side planar cell scheme known as Passivated Emitter Solar Cell (PESC) , which has been redesigned for CPV.
The technology is non-polluting and can rather easily be implemented at sites where the power demand is needed. Based on this, a method for fabricating polycrystalline silicon solar cells is sought and a thorough examination of the mechanisms of converting solar energy into elec-trical energy is examined.
The goal has been achieved by defining a cell structure, in terms of front metal grid layout and doping profiles, minimizing both the parasitic resistance, which potentially limits the conversion efficiency of silicon CPV solar cells, and the front surface metal coverage, which reduces the photo-generated current due to light shadowing.
means to decrease the cost of silicon solar cells is to reduce the amount of silicon used. This could be done by reducing the thickness of the solar cell. However, as the thickness of the solar cell is decreased more and more light penetrates the cell and is not exploited to create electron hole pairs.
Takaya Sugiura is the main contributer. This study reviews the current methods of numerical simulations for crystalline-Si (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) cells. The increased demand for PV devices has led to significant improvements in the performance of solar cell devices.
