Optimization of the Metal Finger of a Silicon Concentrator Solar Cell

Abstract:

The key factors affecting the efficiency of silicon concentrator solar cells with boron implanted emitters were investigated. It is found that, by optimization of the front metal finger, the efficiency of the solar cells can be improved by approximately 10% under 10 suns illumination with the finger spacing of 330 μm.
