Commercial Applications

Tandem solar cells, based on perovskite and crystalline silicon absorbers, are promising candidates for commercial applications. Tin oxide (SnO2), applied via the spin-coating method, has been among the most used electron transfer layers in normal (n-i-p) perovskite/silicon tandem cells. SnO2 synthesized by chemical bath deposition (CBD) has not yet been applied in tandem devices. This method shows improved efficiency in perovskite single cells and allows for deposition over a larger area. Our study is the first to apply low-temperature processed SnO2 via CBD to a homojunction silicon solar cell without additional deposition of a recombination layer. By controlling the reaction time, a tandem efficiency of 16.9% was achieved. This study shows that tandem implementation is possible through the CBD method, and demonstrates the potential of this method in commercial application to textured silicon surfaces with large areas.

Industrial Use

The paper deals with obtaining of textured silicon surfaces by chemical etching. As a result of experiments based on the modification and optimization of obtaining a textured silicon, several methods of chemical texturing of the crystalline silicon surface were developed. It was shown that modified isotropic and anisotropic etching methods are applicable to create a microrelief on the surface of silicon substrate. These methods in addition to their high conversion efficiency can be used for both mono- and multicrystalline silicon which would ensure their industrial use.

Commercial Applications

At present, the improvement in performance and the reduction of cost for crystalline silicon solar cells are a key for photovoltaic industry. Passivated emitter and rear cells are the most promising technology for next-generation commercial solar cells. The efficiency gains of passivated emitter and rear cells obtained on monocrystalline silicon wafer and multicrystalline silicon wafer are different. People are puzzled as to how to develop next-generation industrial cells. In this paper, both monocrystalline and multicrystalline silicon solar cells for commercial applications with passivated emitter and rear cells structure were fabricated by using cost-effective process. It was found that passivated emitter and rear cells are more effective for monocrystalline silicon solar cells than for multicrystalline silicon solar cells. This study gives some hints about the industrial-scale mass production of passivated emitter and rear cells process.

Sensitized Solar Cells

The production of Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) has been done. The transparent electrode is made by mixing of TiO2 and graphite 14% (TiO2:C14%). TiO2:C14% colloid is deposited on a conductive glass substrate Fluorine Doped Tin Oxide (FTO) by spin coating method at 500, 1000 and 1500 rpm during 50 second. Then, the layer is soaked of 24 hours in dye taken from the extract of rosella. SEM and XRD characterization are performed for looking properties of DSSC materials. The efficiency of DSSC is calculated by using the characteristic circuit IV curve. The highest efficiency value is obtained when the thickest active layer (0,9 mm) at 500 rpm, the resulting efficiency is 0,014%.

Coating Method

Aluminum acetylacetonate-based AlOx thin films were introduced as a low-cost, high-quality passivation layers for crystalline silicon solar cells. Films were formed by a spin coating method on p-type silicon substrates at 450°C in ambient air, O2, or water vapor (H2O/O2) for 15 or 120 min. XPS analysis confirms the AlOx formation and reveals a high intensity of interfacial SiOx at the AlOx/Si interface of processed wafers. Ambient H2O/O2 was found to be more beneficial for the activation of introduced AlOx passivation films which offers high lifetime improvements with a low thermal budget. Carrier lifetime measurements provides that symmetrically coated wafers reach 119.3 μs and 248.3 μs after annealing in ambient H2O/O2 for 15 min and 120 min, respectively.
