High-efficiency silicon solar cells strongly rely on an effective reduction of charge carrier
recombination at their surfaces, ie surface passivation. Today's industrial silicon solar cells …

Ever since the first publications by RJ Schwartz in 1975, research into back‐contact cells as
an alternative to cells with a front and rear contact has remained a research topic. In the last …

As an initial investigation into the current and potential economics of one of today's most
widely deployed photovoltaic technologies, we have engaged in a detailed analysis of …

The interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar cells developed at the Australian National
University have resulted in an independently confirmed (Fraunhofer Institut für Solare …

Consolidated tables showing an extensive listing of the highest independently confirmed
efficiencies for solar cells and modules are presented. Guidelines for inclusion of results into …

In one embodiment, a solar cell installation includes several groups of solar cells. Each
group of solar cells has a local power point optimizer configured to control power generation …

In 2006, around 86% of all wafer‐based silicon solar cells were produced using screen
printing to form the silver front and aluminium rear contacts and chemical vapour deposition …

Crystalline silicon solar cells have dominated the photovoltaic market since the very
beginning in the 1950's. Silicon is non-toxic and abundantly available in the earth crust …
