This study investigated the effects of different resistivities on p-TOPCon solar cells. The results indicate that lower resistivity wafers have a higher implied open-circuit voltage (iVoc) value, but higher carrier mobility due to the low resistivity leads to an increase in saturation current density (J0).
Measurements of contact resistivities for typical solar cell metallizations using this technique are reported to be in the mid 10<sup>-6</sup>Ω-cm<sup>2</sup>range. The relative importance of contact resistance compared to other sources of power loss in a solar cell is determined for a typical contact system.
If the resistance of the load is equal to the characteristic resistance of the solar cell, then the maximum power is transferred to the load, and the solar cell operates at its maximum power point. It is a useful parameter in solar cell analysis, particularly when examining the impact of parasitic loss mechanisms.
There are many factors that affect the efficiency of solar cells, including surface recombination rate and contact resistance . The surface recombination rate primarily relies on the passivation quality of the surface, while the contact resistance is influenced by the doping concentration in the contact region.
The characteristic resistance of a solar cell is the inverse of the slope of the line, shown in the figure above as V MP divided by I MP 1. For most cells, R CH can be approximated by V OC divided by I SC: R C H = V M P I M P ≈ V O C I S C R CH is in Ω (ohms) when using I MP or I SC as is typical in a module or full cell area.
