The Pastes with Prototype Additive Deposited on Front Side Metallization Used in Photovoltaic Solar Cells

Abstract:

In this paper are presented both the fill factor of 0.75 and an efficiency approaching 14.64 % of solar cell, which were achieved, despite the non-optimized process. A new Cu-based additive of pastes were applied for formation of front contact on silicon solar cells. Front contact were screen-printed using commercial silver paste containing the CuXX additive prepared at laboratory. It is the world's first copper based paste appropriate for high-temperature production processes of front contact of the solar cell.
