This paper presents a comprehensive overview on printing technologies for metallization of
solar cells. Throughout the last 30 years, flatbed screen printing has established itself as the …

Current studies reveal the expectation that photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion will become
the front-runner technology to stem against the extent of global warming by the middle of this …

Within this work, we evaluate and compare different high-end screens for the fine line front
side metallization of passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) solar cells. Three types of high …

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

The very dynamic growth of the photovoltaic (PV) market over the past decades is mainly
based on fabrication of crystalline Si solar cells in industrial mass production. In this …

The market need for a lower price per Watt peak asks for the development of solar cell
designs with a low production cost and a high performance. An approach to reach a high …

dc. description. abstract Atomic hydrogen is widely used to passivate recombination active
defects in silicon solar cells, yet the passivation mechanisms are poorly understood …

Laser fired contacts (LFC) are a well known technique to apply the rear side electrode on
dielectrically passivated solar cells. Thereby, the aluminum on top of the passivation is …

Excellent surface passivation is a key feature of high-efficiency c-Si solar cell concepts.
Manz AG in collaboration with Fraunhofer ISE has developed a high-power-plasma (HPP) …
