The study of organic solar cells (OSCs) has been rapidly developed in recent years. Organic solar cell technology is sought after mainly due to the ease of manufacture and their exclusive properties such as mechanical flexibility, light-weight, and transparency. These properties of OSCs are well-suited for unconventional applications with power conversion efficiencies more high than 10%. The flexibility of the used substrates and the thinness of the devices make OSCs ideal for roll-to-roll production. However the organic solar cells still have very low conversion efficiencies due to degradation and stability of the technology. In order to extract their full potential, OSCs have to be optimized. On the other hand the production chain of the organic solar cells (OSC) can take advantage of the use of artificial intelligence (AI). In fact the integration into the production workflow makes solar cells more competitive and efficient.

Abstract This paper presents the application of artificial neural networks for prediction contact resistance of front metallization for silicon solar cells. The influence of the obtained front electrode features on electrical properties of solar cells was estimated. The front electrode of photovoltaic cells was deposited using screen printing (SP) method and next to manufactured by two methods: convectional (1. co-fired in an infrared belt furnace) and unconventional (2. Selective Laser Sintering). Resistance of front electrodes solar cells was investigated using Transmission Line Model (TLM). Artificial neural networks were obtained with the use of Statistica Neural Network by Statsoft. Created artificial neural networks makes possible the easy modelling of contact resistance of manufactured front metallization and allows the better selection of production parameters. The following technological recommendations for the screen printing connected with co-firing and selective laser sintering technology such as optimal paste composition, morphology of the silicon substrate, co-firing temperature and the power and scanning speed of the laser beam to manufacture the front electrode of silicon solar cells were experimentally selected in order to obtain uniformly melted structure well adhered to substrate, of a small front electrode substrate joint resistance value. The prediction possibility of contact resistance of manufactured front metallization is valuable for manufacturers and constructors. It allows preserving the customers’ quality requirements and bringing also measurable financial advantages.
