22.8% full-area bifacial n-PERT solar cells with rear side sputtered poly-Si (n) passivating contact

Christophe Ballif, Andrea Ingenito, Bertrand Yves Paul Paviet-Salomon, Sofia Libraro, Sylvain Nicolay

High-temperature compatible passivating contacts based on phosphorus doped polysilicon (poly-Si(n)) on a thin silicon oxide, employed on the rear side of bifacial n-PERT like solar cells provide an efficiency increase while being compatible with current ph ...

Contact Resistivity Measurements and their Applicability for Accurate Series Resistance Breakdown in Heterojunction Solar Cell

Christophe Ballif, Bertrand Yves Paul Paviet-Salomon, Laurie-Lou Senaud, Deniz Türkay, Matthieu Despeisse, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Lison Sylou Marthey, Luca Massimiliano Antognini, Julie Amandine Dreon

In this work, we use several approaches to perform accurate Series Resistance (R-S) breakdown of a state of the art 2 cm x 2 cm screen-printed solar cell reaching 82.5% FF. On the one hand, Haschke et al.'s model for the lateral transport through the cell, ...

Influence of Light Soaking on Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells With Various Architectures

Christophe Ballif, Bertrand Yves Paul Paviet-Salomon, Matthieu Despeisse, Laurie-Lou Senaud, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Jan Haschke, Jean Cattin

In this article, we investigate the effect of prolonged light exposure on silicon heterojunction solar cells. We show that, although light exposure systematically improves solar cell efficiency in the case of devices using intrinsic and p-type layers with ...

Hole-Selective Front Contact Stack Enabling 24.1%-Efficient Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells

Christophe Ballif, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Bertrand Yves Paul Paviet-Salomon, Laurie-Lou Senaud, Matthieu Despeisse, Sylvain Nicolay, Jan Haschke, Luca Massimiliano Antognini, Jean Cattin, Julie Amandine Dreon

The window-layer stack limits the efficiency of both-side-contacted silicon heterojunction solar cells. We discuss here the combination of several modifications to this stack to improve its optoelectronic performance. These include the introduction of a na ...

Low-Temperature Screen-Printed Metallization for the Scale-Up of Two-Terminal Perovskite-Silicon Tandems

Christophe Ballif, Antonin Faes, Jacques Levrat, Gabriel Christmann, Bertrand Yves Paul Paviet-Salomon, Arnaud Walter, Nicolas Badel, Adriana Paracchino, Matthieu Despeisse, Sylvain Nicolay

Tandem photovoltaic devices based on perovskite and crystalline silicon (PK/c-Si) absorbers have the potential to push commercial silicon single junction devices beyond their current efficiency limit. However, their scale-up to industrially relevant sizes ...

Paths for maximal light incoupling and excellent electrical performances in silicon heterojunction solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Bertrand Yves Paul Paviet-Salomon, Matthieu Despeisse, Laurie-Lou Senaud, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Monica Morales Masis, Jan Haschke, Luca Massimiliano Antognini, Jean Cattin, Oscar Esteban Rucavado Leandro

We discuss here optical losses in silicon heterojunction solar cells and strategies to minimize them. Optical losses originate from most non-crystalline-silicon layers involved in the solar cell. A breakdown for typical values is shown evidencing that supp ...
