How to Design Optimal Metallization Patterns for Solar Cells
نویسنده
چکیده
Solar cells have a metallization pattern to collect the current. Generally, simple metallization patterns, such as the H-grid metallization pattern, a cross-hatched pattern or a full metallization, are used. With the widely used technique of screen printing, however, virtually any metallization pattern of any topology can be realized, but the problem is how to design the optimum topology. The paper presents a design method for optimal metallization patterns. Copyright # 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The main target for a commercially successful solar cell production is to decrease the cost/Watt-peak ratio. In the last years new techniques like fine line screen printing or plating of the front electrode entered the market. These new techniques enable a reduction of Ag or Ag containing paste of the front grid or even a substitution of this metal. Cu is a suited candidate because of its high ...
