Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the existing preparation technology, the obtained heterojunction solar cells tend to form high-resistance interfaces, which leads to a large contact resistance / series resistance of the cells; or the prepared metal grid wire electrodes are easy to fall off
In addition, in the preparation process of the existing heterojunction solar cells, the transparent conductive oxide film is easily damaged when the metal electrode is prepared by the electroplating process, especially the transparent conductive oxide film with a lower price is more likely to be completely destroyed , affecting the photoelectric conversion efficiency of heterojunction solar cells

Description

technical field [0001] The application belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular relates to a heterojunction solar cell and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] As a new type of solar cell, heterojunction solar cells have become a new hot spot in the photovoltaic field in recent years. They have many advantages such as simple structure, wide source of raw materials, high open circuit voltage, high conversion efficiency, and low temperature coefficient. Traditional heterojunction solar cells mostly use screen printing to prepare metal electrodes during the preparation process, which has the problem of high consumption of silver paste, resulting in high cost of cells. Using electroplating to prepare metal (such as copper, tin, etc.) electrodes to replace the traditional screen printing method to prepare electrodes is one of the important means to reduce the cost of cells. [0003] However, in the existing preparation technology, t...
