Grid Optimization of Tunnel Oxide Passivated Back Contact Silicon Solar Cells
The grid pattern design of tunnel oxide passivated back contact silicon solar cells were optimized via device simulation and the estimated cell efficiency was correlated to the required Ag paste consumption. The absolute efficiency gain of zero‐busbar design over pad‐based contact design is more than 0.1%, with increasing advantage when the Ag paste ...

Robust Performance Loss Rate Calculation for Photovoltaic Systems in High Latitude Locations
This work studies the best methods for performance loss rate (PLR) calculation in high latitude locations, characterized by strong seasonal variability. As the different methods can drastically affect the PLR value, an ensemble method consisting of multiple approaches was validated to be essential in identifying robust PLRs.
