Title:
HIGH PERFORMANCE SOLAR CELLS, ARRAYS, AND MANUFACTURING PROCESSES THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2023002693
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide high performance solar cell structures, arrays made of such cells, and a high throughput and low cost manufacturing process for generating such devices and systems.SOLUTION: High performance single crystal silicon cells and arrays thereof are manufactured using a rapid process flow. Tunneling junctions formed in the process provide performance benefits, such as higher efficiency and a lower power temperature coefficient. The process generates a large array of interconnected high performance cells smaller than typical cells without requiring additional process steps, and simplifies integration of these coupons into a final product. The cells can have different shapes, sizes, and orientations, enabling the array to be flexible in any desired direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
