The invention provides a
crystalline silicon solar cell and a manufacturing method of the
crystalline silicon solar cell. The manufacturing method includes the steps that a
crystalline silicon slice with PN junctions is used as a substrate, two
layers of transparent conducting thin films are deposited on the front and the back of the substrate respectively, and
electroplating copper grid line electrodes are arranged on the transparent conducting thin films on the front and the back of the substrate respectively. According to the crystalline
silicon solar cell and the manufacturing method of the crystalline
silicon solar
cell, SiNx is replaced by TCO, and silk-
screen printing silver grid lines are replaced by
electroplating copper. Due to the fact that the silk-
screen printing silver grid lines are replaced by the
electroplating copper,
electrode grid lines can be more exquisite, smaller in light shielding area, and lower in cost because silver is replaced by copper. Due to the fact that the TCO has high light transparency and electrical
conductivity, antireflective films and the inactivation effect of the SiNx can be replaced, a certain effect for collecting current is achieved, the number of the grid lines can be reduced, more importantly, the electroplating copper can be resisted from infiltrating into
silicon, and the defects in the process of directly electroplating copper on a
silicon cell are overcome. In addition, cost of TCO production equipment is far lower than cost of SiNx production equipment. The TCO and the electroplating copper are combined, therefore, manufacturing cost is low, the preparing process is simple, and efficiency of the
cell can be effectively improved.
