Problems solved by technology

The former method destroys the integrity of the passivation film, and the passivation effect of the latter method cannot be compared with the passivation effect of normal thickness. Both methods will weaken the protective effect of the passivation film and affect the passivation of the silicon wafer. Effect
At the same time, these structures cannot fully meet the needs of solar cells for external transmission current, which may easily cause the series resistance of the battery to be too large, thereby affecting the short-circuit current and fill factor.
