Next-generation industrial PERC solar cells typically include local laser contact opening (LCO) of a dielectric passivation layer stack at the rear side and subsequent full-area aluminum screen printing and firing. In this ...

Screen-printed passivated emitter and rear cells (PERC) require Ag pads on the rear side to enable solderable connections for module integration. These Ag pads are separated from the silicon by a dielectric layer to avoid ...

Improving the light trapping in a module results in an increase in the generated current. Consequently, an optimization of the front grid metallization of the cell is required for the best trade-off between series resistance, ...

We combine PEDOT:PSS as hole-selective layer on c-Si with a well-passivating electron-selective a-Si:H(n) layer in an alternative type of silicon heterojunction solar cell. As the interface between the PEDOT:PSS and the ...

In this work, the influence of mechanical stress on magnetic properties and electric resistance of a Ni-Mn- In alloy was studied. It is shown that compression of Ni-Mn-In polycrystalline specimens brings about a stressinduced ...
