Customer ServiceSolar cell performance is highly dependent upon the front contact grid design for minimizing the power losses due to shading (optical loss) and for proper collection of the photo-generated charge carriers (electrical loss).
The front grid designs of the above-mentioned solar cells consist patterns on busbars. There are some hollow structures in the busbars in Cell 1, Cell 2, and Cell 4 and some rectangular shaped openings in the busbar in Cell 3. Due to these patterns on the busbars the area consumed by the busbars are less which corresponds to less shading losses.
The short-circuit current and front shading of the modeled three-busbar solar cell as functions of the minor busbar width (2 w2) for the continuous gridlines with s = 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5
To optimize the grid pattern in terms of the solar cell efficiency, different grid models [ 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17] have been developed to assess the total series resistance and its components corresponding to the emitter, gridline, busbar, and contact.
Chen et al. [ 4] showed that, for a given number of busbars, the gridline height has a negligible impact on the cell conversion efficiency after it reaches a certain value. This suggests that the aspect ratio of the gridlines should also be optimized to design cost-effective solar cells.
It also features an interface for generating H-patterns and back metal grids. The simulations varied the number of busbars used on the front side metal grids of solar cells from 1 to 5 and the number of metal fingers used for grid pattern optimization from 80 to 130, with finger widths ranging from 10 to 60 µm.
