Large Area Solar Cells With 18.4% Conversion Efficiency, Featuring Cu-plated Contacts

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 - 12:35 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers in Europe are presenting a large-area solar with a conversion efficiency of 18.4%. Compared to the standard i-PERC cell process, the new solar cell features a shallow emitter and advanced front metallization using copper plating. The results were obtained on large-area cells, proving the industrial viability of the process.
