TU Delft research suggests back contact tech may push crystalline silicon PV over 28% threshold

Researchers in the Netherlands have investigated how carrier-selective contacts may help achieve stronger performance in back-contact (BC) crystalline silicon solar cells and have predicted efficiencies may reach up to 28. 64%. Their analysis considered work function, energy barriers, and energy alignment across the stack of layers. A research group led by Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands has conducted a series of electrical simulations to assess the potential of carrier-selective contacts (CSCs) to achieve higher efficiencies in crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells ...
