|---|---|
| Using a simple process,high efficiency silicon concentrator solar cells have proved to achieve up to 21% efficiency at 100X.The purpose of this work is to prove the feasibility of their industrialisation by setting up a pilot line and manufacturing a significant number of cells for a 100X concentrator system. The process has been successfully verified by modifying the antireflection coating,the annealing process and the backcontact.This yielded an average efficiency of 18.5% at 100X with 70% of cells having an efficiency >18%and costs ranging from 0.31 to 0.41 h/W. A fast learning curve is shown which suggests optimistic results indeed for further industrialisation. | |
