the optical simulation by Sunsolve and device simulation by Quokka3 are used to investigate the effects of cell structure
film material and film thickness
front contact resistance
wafer resistivity
and front finger pitch on the optical and electrical performance of HJT cells. Compared with the conventional HJT solar cell
the MgF/Ag back reflector and the thin ITO of 12 nm are used on the back side
improving reflection at long wavelengths and reducing parasitic absorption on the backside. On the front side
the nc-Si: H(n)/ITO contact regions with high parasitic absorption are limited below the fingers
while a highly transparent SiN/SiO stack is used in the passivated regions
which significantly reduces the parasitic absorption and external reflection on the front side
and increases the cell by 1.63 mA/cm
reaching 41.75 mA/cm. By using the optimized front finger pitch of 1.25 mm
resistivity of 1 Ω·cm
and front of 0.2 mΩ·cm
localized passivated contact HJT solar cells with an efficiency of 27% are achieved. Compared with conventional HJT solar cells
the efficiency is improved by 0.97%
while the front and back thin ITO design reduces the fabrication cost of HJT cells.
