Commercial mc-Si Solar Cell

Cells on multi-crystalline silicon substrates with efficiencies above 18.6% have been fabricated using substrates provided by commercial solar cell manufacturers. Record minority carrier lifetimes and open circuit voltages have been obtained. Skills in the area of process control, gettering, texturing of multi-crystalline silicon, preservation of cell blue response, silicon/metal contact behaviour and cell fabrication have been developed. Current research activities in conjunction with BP Solar aim at increasing the performance of commercial grade multi-crystalline silicon.
