In this work we propose a methodology based on a mixed-mode simulation approach to evaluate the impact of finger interruptions in the front-side metallization on the solar cell performance. We apply the proposed methodology to typical finger profiles realized with double screen-printing technology. The efficiency degradation induced by finger interruptions is studied as a function of interruption size, interruption position, number of interruptions and finger resistivity. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract

In this work we propose a methodology based on a mixed-mode simulation approach to evaluate the impact of finger interruptions in the front-side metallization on the solar cell performance. We apply the proposed methodology to typical finger profiles realized with double screen-printing technology. The efficiency degradation induced by finger interruptions is studied as a function of interruption size, interruption position, number of interruptions and finger resistivity. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
