Problems solved by technology

[0002] In the preparation of solar cell devices made of semiconductor materials, on the one hand, due to the relatively large sheet resistance of the window layer material, the lateral transport of photogenerated carriers is limited, so it is necessary to prepare grid line metal electrodes to better collect current, resulting in grid line Metal electrodes block part of the incident light, reducing the effective light absorption area
On the other hand, the light loss caused by the reflection of the illuminated surface is also a reason for the low light absorption efficiency of the cell.
