Thin solar cells are inherently fragile, and must be properly supported during fabrication, handling and use. Metal films can provide this support, but accomplishing this can be challenging. Here we describe a method for fabricating thin III-V solar cells on Ni films, using electroless deposition to deposit a thick (10-50 µm) Ni film onto the bottom of an inverted III-V solar cell prior to substrate removal. Cells have been fabricated on both rigid and flexible supports with no loss of performance when compared to cells processed using standard inverted-cell processing.
薄太阳能电池本身就很脆弱,在制造、处理和使用过程中必须得到适当的支撑。金属膜可以提供这种支持,但实现这一目标可能具有挑战性。在这里,我们描述了一种在Ni薄膜上制造薄III-V太阳能电池的方法,在衬底去除之前,使用化学沉积在倒置III-V太阳能电池的底部沉积厚(10-50 μ m)的Ni薄膜。电池在刚性和柔性支架上制造,与使用标准倒置电池加工的电池相比,性能没有损失。

Existing mechanical durability testing sequences typically perform mechanical loading prior to environmental exposures such as thermal cycling or humidity freeze. Recent work has shown that the fracture strength of silicon solar cells can reduce after exposure to temperatures below -20°C. In an effort to better evaluate modules with respect to cell crack durability, we explore the use of a single thermal cycle prior to mechanical loading. Modules were exposed to a static front-side load before and after exposure to a single thermal cycle and were characterized with current-voltage measurements and electroluminescence imaging. The results show a significant increase in the number of cell cracks that are generated at a given load after a single cold exposure. We explore how this can be used to further optimize the qualification test sequence for mechanical durability.
现有的机械耐久性测试序列通常在环境暴露(如热循环或湿度冻结)之前进行机械加载。最近的研究表明,硅太阳能电池暴露在-20℃以下的温度下,断裂强度会降低。为了更好地评估模块的细胞裂纹耐久性,我们探索了在机械加载之前使用单个热循环。在暴露于单个热循环之前和之后,模块暴露于静态前端负载,并通过电流-电压测量和电致发光成像进行表征。结果表明,在单次冷暴露后,在给定载荷下产生的细胞裂纹数量显着增加。我们将探索如何利用这一方法进一步优化机械耐久性的鉴定试验序列。

In recent years, polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) based passivating-contact solar cells have received tremendous attention from the solar research community due to its excellent surface passivation and high carrier conductivity. However, the poly-Si films are not transparent to all wavelengths of the solar spectrum. There is often some parasitic absorption in these films. From a different standpoint, as they absorb some light, they can luminesce. This phenomenon provides us with unique opportunities to investigate optoelectronic properties of the films in a fast, contactless, and nondestructive manner. In this work, we report the luminescence phenomenon from poly-Si films used in passivating-contact solar cells. We then utilize this phenomenon to report a range of applications for solar cells including studies of carrier transport behaviors and hydrogenation inside the films.
近年来,多晶硅(poly-Si)基钝化接触太阳电池因其优异的表面钝化性能和高载流子导电性而受到太阳能研究界的极大关注。然而,多晶硅薄膜并非对太阳光谱的所有波长都是透明的。在这些薄膜中经常有一些寄生吸收。从另一个角度来看,当它们吸收一些光时,它们就会发光。这种现象为我们提供了独特的机会,以快速,非接触和非破坏性的方式研究薄膜的光电特性。在这项工作中,我们报道了钝化接触太阳能电池中使用的多晶硅薄膜的发光现象。然后,我们利用这一现象报道了太阳能电池的一系列应用,包括载流子传输行为和薄膜内氢化的研究。

The economic and environmental performance of residential rooftop photovoltaics (PVs) with Second Life Batteries (SLBs) was evaluated in five US cities. The annualized system cost and global warming potential (GWP) of SLB with PV were compared with those of grid-connected PV. Adding SLBs provided cost reduction relative to the grid-connected PV if excess electricity generated by the PV is not sold back to the grid; otherwise, adding SLBs increased the cost. The combination of SLBs with PV had the lowest GWP for all scenarios considered. Time-of-use pricing structure showed similar trends as well.
在美国五个城市对住宅屋顶光伏电池(pv)的经济和环境性能进行了评估。对比了带光伏的SLB与并网光伏的年化系统成本和全球变暖潜能值。如果光伏发电产生的多余电力没有卖回电网,添加slb相对于并网光伏发电可以降低成本;否则,增加slb会增加成本。在所有考虑的方案中,slb与PV的组合具有最低的GWP。使用时间定价结构也显示出类似的趋势。

Photovoltaic (PV) packaging materials impact the module operating temperatures. This paper compares the thermal performance of thermally conductive backsheets (TCB) with the benchmark tedlar-polyester-tedlar (TPT) backsheet. In this work, the nine-cell modules with TCB_A and TCB_B typically operate at lower cell temperatures under desert climatic conditions with low wind speed whereas TCB_C and TCB_D modules operate at lower backsheet temperatures but at almost similar cell temperatures under temperate climatic conditions. The Nominal Operating Cell Temperature (NOCT) of modules with thermally conductive backsheet is lower than TPT with a temperature difference as high as 2 °C. All TCBs have higher thermal conductivity values as compared to TPT. TCBs can perform better, worse or equal compared to TPT depending on the dynamic site conditions. This paper presents only the thermal performance of backsheets and does not present any data on reliability and durability of these backsheets.
光伏(PV)封装材料会影响组件的工作温度。本文比较了导热背片(TCB)与基准telar -聚酯- telar (TPT)背片的热性能。在本研究中,具有TCB_A和TCB_B的9单元模块通常在低风速的沙漠气候条件下工作在较低的单元温度下,而TCB_C和TCB_D模块在较低的背板温度下工作,但在温带气候条件下的单元温度几乎相同。具有导热背板的模块的标称工作电池温度(NOCT)低于TPT,温差高达2℃。与TPT相比,所有tcb都具有更高的导热系数。与TPT相比,tcb的性能可以更好、更差或相同,这取决于动态现场条件。本文只介绍了背板的热工性能,并没有提供这些背板的可靠性和耐久性的任何数据。

Producing the green energy of tomorrow will require highly efficient as well as energy-, and cost-effective solar cells in addition to having reasonable lifetimes. To determine if CIGS can be made to submit to these constraints, we produced ultra-thin (500nm) single-stage coevaporated CIGS solar cells. We doped these cells with varying amounts and types of alkali atoms and submitted them to accelerated lifetime testing. Results showed definite effect of the alkali concentration on the degradation of the cells but showed limited migration. Instead, the seeping of water into the grain boundaries was identified as the main culprit for performance degradation.
生产未来的绿色能源除了需要合理的使用寿命外,还需要高效、节能、低成本的太阳能电池。为了确定CIGS是否能够满足这些限制,我们生产了超薄(500nm)单级共蒸发CIGS太阳能电池。我们在这些电池中掺杂了不同数量和类型的碱原子,并将它们提交给加速寿命测试。结果表明,碱浓度对细胞的降解有一定的影响,但对细胞的迁移有限制。相反,水渗入晶界被认为是性能下降的罪魁祸首。

Hydrogel-mediated semiconductor wafer bonding has been demonstrated for low-cost fabrication of high-efficiency lattice-mismatched multijunction solar cells. Wafer direct bonding can be hardly applied in the presence of wafer surface roughness or particles. Our hydrogel bonding scheme benefits from high surface roughness and particulate tolerances, optical transmittance, and electrical conductivity by utilizing the hydrogels' versatile properties suitable particularly for photovoltaic applications. We have investigated three types of hydrogels and all of them exhibit sufficient transmittance, bonding strength, and conductivity for the fabrication of highefficiency multijunction solar cells.

In this paper, the effect of external gate voltage on GaAs-based metal-semiconductor (MS) Schottky solar cells is investigated. Subsequent changes in photovoltaic characteristic properties of the solar cells are extracted, reported and explained. Under positive gate voltages, the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current density measured at collector are significantly increased due to the drift of holes from gate junction to the collector (forward bias condition of gate junction). However, there is slight increase in open-circuit voltage under reverse gate voltages, where only thermally generated electrons drift toward the collector junction. Moreover, negative gate voltage on insulated gate contact has resulted into slight increase in open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current compared to zero gate voltage. These results demonstrate the potential to change and control the performance characteristics of Schottky junction solar cells by using gated layers.
本文研究了外部栅极电压对砷化镓金属半导体(MS)肖特基太阳能电池的影响。随后的太阳能电池的光伏特性的变化被提取,报道和解释。在正栅极电压下,由于孔从栅极结向集电极漂移(栅极结正偏置条件),集电极处测量的开路电压和短路电流密度显著增加。然而,在反向栅极电压下,只有热生成的电子向集电极结漂移,开路电压略有增加。此外,与零栅极电压相比,绝缘栅极触点的负栅极电压导致开路电压和短路电流略有增加。这些结果证明了利用门控层改变和控制肖特基结太阳能电池性能特性的潜力。

The Room Temperature Wet Chemistry Growth (RTWCG) technology is a novel technology for growing highly uniform amorphous SiOX layers into silicon substrates [1]. By growing RTWCG SiOX layers on one side of silicon substrates, the hydrophilic nature of the SiOX layer made it possible for the crystallization of boric acid, onto the silicon substrate, from an aqueous solution comprised of boric acid dissolved in dilute hydrofluoric acid solution. The crystallized boric acid layer was used as a p+ dopant source for a p+/n+ structure. A sheet resistance of 70 ohm/sq was achieved in three minutes at 1050°C, ambient air. Since the boron diffusant can be created in an inline chemical bench, this new approach will improve the efficiency of traditional solar cells in a cost effective and, very importantly, process efficient way. This method can lower the cost of producing bifacial cells, rear local-diffused (PERL) cells, front surface field-interdigitated back contact (FSF-IBC) solar cells, and other cell structures which depend on boron diffusion to create a p+ or p++ emitter layer.
室温湿化学生长(RTWCG)技术是一种在硅衬底上生长高度均匀的非晶SiOX层的新技术。通过在硅衬底的一侧生长RTWCG SiOX层,SiOX层的亲水性使得硼酸在硅衬底上的结晶成为可能,硼酸的水溶液由溶解在稀氢氟酸溶液中的硼酸组成。结晶硼酸层作为p+/n+结构的p+掺杂源。在1050°C的环境空气中,在三分钟内达到70欧姆/平方的薄片电阻。由于硼扩散剂可以在在线化学实验台上产生,这种新方法将以一种经济有效的方式提高传统太阳能电池的效率,而且非常重要的是,这是一种高效的工艺方式。这种方法可以降低生产双面电池、后局部扩散(PERL)电池、前表面场交叉后接触(FSF-IBC)太阳能电池以及其他依赖硼扩散产生p+或p++发射层的电池结构的成本。
