Problems solved by technology

[0004] PERC battery is the earliest high-efficiency battery researched by the photovoltaic device laboratory of the University of New South Wales in Australia. The front adopts an inverted pyramid structure and is passivated on both sides. The back electrode penetrates the passivation layer and contacts the substrate through some small holes separated far away. The highest efficiency of the prepared battery can reach 23.2%. Since the back electrode is directly in contact with the substrate through some small holes, passivation cannot be achieved here. In order to reduce the carrier recombination here as much as possible, the designed The hole spacing must be much greater than the thickness of the substrate, but the increase in the hole spacing increases the lateral resistance (because the carriers have to travel long distances laterally to get here), which leads to a decrease in the fill factor of the battery; in addition, in It is very difficult to realize the ohmic contact of the electrode on the lightly doped substrate, which limits the high-efficiency PERC cell substrate material to only select specific silicon materials. In order to further improve the performance of the PERC cell, the laboratory envisages adding Localized doping, that is, doping concentrated boron at the contact hole between the electrode and the substrate, this idea has long been proposed, but the biggest difficulty is the realization of the doping process, because the solid-state source used at that time for boron doping Afterwards, the carrier life will be greatly reduced. Later, during the experiment, it was found that the use of liquid source BBr3 for boron doping has little effect on the carrier life of the silicon wafer, and it can be compared with the process of preparing a passivation layer using TCA. Good matching, so it is necessary to develop PERC solar cells with independent intellectual property rights

Abstract

The invention discloses a PERC solar photovoltaic cell capable of improving photoelectric conversion efficiency. The PERC solar photovoltaic cell comprises a silicon substrate slice, a positive electrode and a back electrode, wherein the positive electrode and the back electrode are directly sintered on the light-receiving surface and the back surface of the silicon substrate slice respectively. The light-receiving surface of the silicon substrate slice is provided with a silicon dioxide layer, a first passivation layer, an antireflection layer, a conductive thin film and transparent glass in sequence. The back surface of the silicon substrate slice is sequentially provided with a second passivation layer and an aluminum back surface field. A metal nano-particle layer is arranged between the conductive thin film and the transparent glass. The solar photovoltaic cell is simple in structure; on one hand, light absorption is improved; a light-trapping surface structure is adopted and the antireflection layer is plated, and on the other hand, recombination rate of the surface of the cell is reduced; passivation is carried out by adopting the passivation layer, and the back surface passivation layer better reduces the recombination rate of the back surface of the silicon slice, so that the minority carrier lifetime of the silicon slice is allowed to be maximum; and meanwhile, opening proportion of the back surface passivation layer is optimized, and photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar photovoltaic cell is greatly improved.
