Abstract This work presents the design and numerical simulation of a bifacial heterojunction in three-dimensional (3D) space with ATLAS-SILVACO software. The materials used in our simulation are the crystalline silicon p-type and amorphous silicon in the formation of the heterojunction. The front face of this cell is the amorphous silicon …

In the current bifacial PV market, crystalline silicon solar cells (c-Si) are dominant 9,10,11. c-Si PVs have achieved modest-to-high BiFi (0.75–0.95) and high PCEs (over 24% for bifacial Si ...
2.4 Ultra-Thin IWO Layers for Bifacial Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells. The external parameters of bifacial solar cells with bilayer n-type stack are reported in Figure 4A. The V OC of the cells increases with the increase of IWO thickness. A similar trend is found also for J SC, FF, and η. The TCO in SHJ solar cells works serves a dual ...
For advanced optical analysis and optimization of solar cell structures with multi-scale interface textures, we applied a coupled modelling approach (CMA), where we couple the rigorous coupled wave analysis method with ray tracing and transfer matrix method. Coupling of the methods enables accurate optical analysis of solar cells made of thin …
Potential-induced degradation (PID) may be a serious concern in photovoltaic (PV) modules and plants, particularly when approaching high system voltages (1500+ V). Here, we investigate PID occurring in bifacial rear-emitter silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells ...
The best measure for the quality of the passivation is the open-circuit voltage V oc, which, is in a HJT cell, in general, higher than 740 mV, e.g. V oc is about 15% higher for an HJT cell, than for conventional PERC cell, where we only obtain ~660 mV today.7.2.2 The Basic Structure of a Heterojunction Cell
Bifacial silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells are gaining popularity owing to their potential for high performance. To achieve bifacial illumination, wide-gap hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon oxide (nc-SiO x:H) materials are used as front and rear surface fields, which significantly enhance the light absorbed into the cells.
A) Schematic illustration of bifacial SHJ solar cells with three types of n-layer stacks. B) The external parameters of bifacial cells with different n-layer stacks, and C) the bifaciality factors. All the cells are measured by illuminating either the MoO x or the n-layer side indicated as P and N, respectively. 12 cells with 50 nm thick ITO on both …
We applied the validated CMA to simulate advanced bifacial silicon heterojunction solar cells, including different front/rear c-Si texture combinations, encapsulation and optional light management films on front and/or rear glass.

The development of transparent electron-selective contacts for dopant-free carrier-selective crystalline silicon (c-Si) heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells plays an important role in achieving high short-circuit current density (J SC) and consequently high photoelectric conversion efficiencies (PCEs). ...
With applying 25-nm-thick front IWO in n-contact, and 25-nm-thick rear ITO use in p-contact, we obtained front side efficiencies above 22% in bifacial SHJ solar cells. This represents a 67% TCO reduction with respect to a reference bifacial solar cell with 75-nm

Reducing indium consumption, which is related to the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) use, is a key challenge for scaling up silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cell technology to terawatt level.
