Abstract

Compared with single-layer contact, optimized two-layer contact of front side could diminish power losses distinctly and improve the electrical performance of crystalline silicon solar cell. In this paper, the optimized analysis and experimental study for two-layer contact of crystalline silicon solar cell are carried out. The model of two-layer contact is established by abstracting the cross-section of two-layer contact into semi-elliptical shape closer to the realistic situation according to the SEM observation . The electrical losses and the optical losses of two-layer contact are analyzed in theory. In combination with experimental screen-printed contact thickened by light-induced electroplating solar cell, the relationship between the optimum thickening contact thickness by light-induced electroplating and the screen-printed contact width is achieved in theory and experiment. The corresponding theory and experimental results are in good agreement with each other. Due to involving no concrete technology of contact preparation, the theoretical model of two-layer contact is generally appticable for many types of two-layer contact structurs in consequence.
