Description

technical field [0001] The patent of the invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and relates to a contact passivation crystalline silicon solar cell structure and preparation method Background technique [0002] In order to reduce the cost per kilowatt-hour of photovoltaic power generation, it is necessary to further improve the conversion efficiency of solar cells. Recombination losses in the contact area must be accounted for. The current method used by the industry to solve this problem is to use local contact structures, such as PERC, PERL, and PERT cells. In this cell structure, most of the area is covered with a passivation layer, reducing the area where the silicon and metal are in contact. However, these batteries all require local openings, which increases the complexity of the process, and the recombination and lateral transport at the openings have also become key factors in battery design. Another approach to reduce contact recombination losse...
