Novel bifacial single-substrate solar cell utilising reflected solar radiation

Objective

The use of renewable energies, and in particular PV, is one of the most attractive solutions to overcome the problems caused by conventional energy sources. Whilst much achievements have been made over the last couple of decades to reduce the costs of PV cells, their costs are presently still the main obstacle for a world-wide increased utilisation of electric power provided by this clean and renewable technology. Therefore, the need for innovative, competitive manufacturing concepts is compelling. The project proposed here aims to prepare the back end of an c-Si solar cell by applying self-formation for producing single-sided solar cells. In this technology, the + and - conductors are both at the front end, and two-sided processes simply can copy the process to the back- end, which is far simpler than the manufacturing process of the current two-sided solar cells.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
