Abstract

The invention discloses a PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact) solar cell. The PERC solar cell comprises a silicon wafer layer with a PN junction, and a passivation layer and a metal layer which are arranged in sequence on a back side of the silicon wafer layer, wherein the passivation layer is provided with an open area; the surface of the solar cell is provided with a back electrode; and based on a plane on which a silicon wafer is positioned, the position of the back electrode does not coincide with the position of the open area. The position of the back electrode does not coincide with the position of the open area, so that compounding between metal and naked silicon on an opening is reduced, and an open voltage of the cell is increased. As proved by experiments, compared with an existing structure, the structure of the PERC solar cell has the advantages that the cell conversion efficiency can be increased by 0.1 percent, and an unexpected effect is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a PERC solar cell, which belongs to the technical field of solar cells. Background technique [0002] Conventional fossil fuels are being exhausted day by day. Among the existing sustainable energy sources, solar energy is undoubtedly the cleanest, most common and most potential alternative energy source. Solar power generation devices, also known as solar cells or photovoltaic cells, can directly convert solar energy into electrical energy. The principle of power generation is based on the photovoltaic effect of semiconductor PN junctions. [0003] With the development of science and technology, partial contact back passivation (PERC) solar cells have emerged, which is a newly developed high-efficiency solar cell and has attracted widespread attention in the industry. Its core is to cover the backlight surface of the silicon wafer with an aluminum oxide or silicon oxide film (5-100 nanometers) to passivate the surface and imp...
