Large area industrial crystalline silicon n-PERT solar cell with a record 22.5 percent efficiency

Wednesday, June 10, 2015 - 06:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Nano-electronics research center imec announced today at Intersolar Europe, a new efficiency record for its large area n-type PERT (passivated emitter, rear totally diffused) crystalline silicon (Cz-Si) solar cell, now reaching 22.5 percent (calibrated at ISE CalLab). It is the highest efficiency achieved for a two-side-contacted solar cell processed on six inch commercially available n-type Cz-Si wafers without the use of passivated contacts.
