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 …

Since its invention in the 1950s, semiconductor solar cell technology has evolved in great
leaps and bounds. Solar power is now being considered as a serious leading contender for …

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 …

Crystalline silicon solar module manufacturing cost is analysed, from feedstock to final
product, regarding the equipment, labour, materials, yield losses and fixed cost …

An overview is given concerning current industrial technologies, near future improvements
and medium term developments in the field of industrially implementable crystalline silicon …

Fast and accurate simulation tools are key to increasing our understanding of silicon-based
solar cells. A lucid graphical unit interface and experimentally obtained input parameters …

For the past few years the world of energy has been changing, at least in appearance.

In this work, we optimize the front side of p-type Czochralski-grown silicon (Cz-Si) solar cells
by investigating industrial-type phosphorus diffusion processes, and by adapting the front …

The introduction of new solar cell structures as eg PERC or HIP-MWT into industrial
fabrication increases the cell production complexity considerably to the still widely produced …
