In this paper, we investigate the impact of the rear surface passivation, the silicon base material and the local aluminum contacts applied to rear side passivated solar cells with a homogenously doped emitter at the front. ...

Advanced solar cell architectures like passivated emitter and rear (PERC) and heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) are increasingly sensitive to bulk recombination. Present device models consider homogeneous bulk ...

The setting up of a practical electrically driven light commercial demonstration vehicle with integrated photovoltaics (PV) is reported. The demonstrator vehicle is equipped with 15 modules based on the crystalline ...
