Down-conversion in Tm3+/Yb3+ doped glasses for multicrystalline silicon photo-voltaic module efficiency enhancement

An industrial process for tube-diffused multicrystalline silicon (multi-Si) solar cells using phosphorus gettering. A cell efficiency gain of 0.5% (absolute) is achieved with heavy chemical etch-back when compared to the as-diffused cells with same final emitter.

Cell Module

An integrated cell and module technology based on metal-wrap-through (MWT) cells has been developed and demonstrated. 243 cm2 large and 160 µm thin multicrystalline silicon MWT cells were made with a best cell efficiency of 17.9%. From 36 cells with an average efficiency of 17.8% a full-size module was made with an efficiency of 17.0% (aperture area). The module was made using a conductive rear-side foil with conductive adhesive for the interconnection. The module was constructed using a dedicated module manufacturing line that is designed to be able to work with extremely thin cells and provide a high through-put of one 60 cell module per minute.
