Complex light trapping structures make it challenging to simulate the optical properties of solar cells accurately. In this paper, a framework is proposed where matrices are used to …
This paper describes the application of an inkjet chemical lithography patterning method for back contact solar cell metallisation where the novolac polymer resist is retained in the final …
Rear-passivated solar cells demonstrate higher efficiency due to reduced rear surface recombination; however surface passivation and patterning methods used need to be …
Implementation of silicon nitride into the fabrication process of commercial silicon solar cells was a significant development leading to a large performance improvement. A key reason …
In this paper, optical losses in CdS/CdTe solar cells are calculated on the basis of the designated reflective index of various frontal layers using an OPAL2 calculator for the first …
There are a number of different modelling methods that can be used to simulate the optics of solar cells. However, solar cells and modules having both nanoscale and microscale …
