Interface Treatment

Nip type flexible a-Si solar cells for application in building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) were deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method. In order to improve the efficiency and stability of the device, p-type microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) film was used as the window layers. H plasma treatment was applied on the p/i interface and nucleation layer was introduced to enhance the deposition of p-type μc-Si:H film on the surface of a-Si:H. Results suggest that with the application of H plasma treatment and the nucleation layer introduction, high quality p-type μc-Si:H film and high efficiency flexible solar cells were obtained.

Interdigitated back contacted (IBC) silicon solar cells have long been shown as high conversion efficiency solar cells, with values as high as 25.0% reported by Sunpower [1]. Such high efficiencies are enabled by the cell structure, with the absence of front side metal shading, which can then be optimised from optical and passivation perspectives. High bulk lifetime silicon and a low series resistance metallisation scheme can also enhance the efficiencies. Other advantages include the easier module incorporation given both metal contacts are located on the rear of the cell.
