In general, the lower temperature coefficient of silicon heterojunction cells should ensure—depending on the climate—a typical energy gain of 3–5% relative to standard c-Si diffused-junction cells with − 0.45%/°C.
However, a real challenge for silicon heterojunction cells is to enter into the market with high enough volume to surpass the existing players.
With the clear potential for 60-cell modules with a power of 320 W (or more), silicon heterojunction cells, once established, may force companies to adopt similar or other advanced technologies. At the cost of some modified or added steps, silicon heterojunction cells could also evolve.
25.11% high efficiency silicon heterojunction solar cells on a full size n-type M2 c-Si wafer is obtained. An ultra-thin intrinsic a-Si:H buffer layer with low deposition rate shows superior surface passivation. The ultra-thin i-a-Si:H film has both a higher microstructure factor (R*) and H content.
In the case of front grids, the grid geometry is optimised such to provide a low resistance contact to all areas of the solar cell surface without excessively shading it from sunlight. Heterojunction solar cells are typically metallised (ie. fabrication of the metal contacts) in two distinct methods.
