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 ...

Optical Durability of Contemporary PV Encapsulants Through Artificial UV Weathering
Encapsulant choice can be used to mitigate UV‐induced degradation in modern silicon photovoltaic modules, but this strategy is only effective if encapsulants are durable under UV weathering. This study identifies optical changes to 14 commercial encapsulants as a function of UV weathering and identifies that, while changes to material transmittance ...

Shingle Interconnection Reliability of PERC and Thin HJT Cells for Low Earth Orbit Applications
Evolution of maximum power output (Pmax$$ {}_m ax $$) of PERC and thin HJT shingled cells with the Electrically Conductive Adhesives (ECA) “S” and “A” exposed to +120°C/−$$ - $$120°C thermal cycles up to 5×103$$ 5\times 1{0}^3 $$ times. Losses are induced by an increased series resistance with all cell technologies and ECA. Imaging (electroluminescence
