Bifacial Schottky‐Junction Plasmonic‐Based Solar Cell

Development of bifacial n-type solar cells for industrial application

A New Thin-Film CuGaSe2/Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Bifacial, Tandem Solar Cell with Both Junctions Formed Simultaneously: Preprint

Thin films of CuGaSe2 and Cu(In,Ga)Se2 were evaporated by the 3-stage process onto opposite sides of a single piece of soda-lime glass, coated bifacially with an n-TCO. Junctions were formed simultaneously with each of the p-type absorbers by depositing thin films of n-CdS via chemical bath deposition (CBD) at 60 ̊C. The resulting four-terminal device is a nonmechanically stacked, two-junction t...

Bifacial dye-sensitized solar cells: A strategy to enhance overall efficiency based on transparent polyaniline electrode

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is a promising solution to global energy and environmental problems because of its clean, low-cost, high efficiency, good durability, and easy fabrication. However, enhancing the efficiency of the DSSC still is an important issue. Here we devise a bifacial DSSC based on a transparent polyaniline (PANI) counter electrode (CE). Owing to the sunlight irradiation si...

Bifacial a-Si:H solar cells: Origin of the asymmetry between front and back illumination

The asymmetry in performance between front and back illumination of a single-junction bifacial hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) cell is analyzed by numerical simulation using the ASA software and compared to experimental results. It is found that the difference between the band mobility of electron and the one of holes, and especially the difference in the band tail characteristic energy...

High efficiency screen printed bifacial solar cells on monocrystalline CZ silicon

We present industrialized bifacial solar cells on large area (149 cm) 2 cm CZ monocrystalline silicon wafers processed with industrially relevant techniques such as liquid source BBr3 and POCl3 open-tube furnace diffusions, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) SiNx deposition, and screen printed contacts. The fundamental analysis of the paste using at boron-diffused surface and the...
