Reducing TOPCon solar cell degradation via copper plating

Researchers at the University of New South Wales have used a 1 µm copper plating layer on the front silver grid of a TOPCon solar cell to create a protective barrier that reportedly reduces corrosion susceptibility. The cell showed significantly lower contaminant-induced degradation that unprotected reference devices. Scientists from Australia's University of New South Wales (UNSW) have sought to reduce contaminant-induced degradation in solar cells based on tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) technology by using copper (Cu) plating on screen-printed devices. According to the research group, ...
