Samenvatting:
An integrated R&D effort was performed, aimed at the industrial use of highly n-doped waste silicon, and at processing of this silicon to n-doped ingots, solar cells, and modules. An evaporation process was successfully applied to reduce the phosphorous concentration in the waste Si. Additional experimental n-type ingots were produced by blending (highly doped with undoped) silicon. Industrial p+nn+ cell processes were developed with a front boron emitter and, alternatively, a rear aluminium emitter. A high and homogeneous carrier lifetime was observed in the n-type mc-Si which makes the material suitable even for a rear emitter process. Solar cell efficiencies of 14.7% (front emitter) and 14.4% (rear emitter) were obtained on mc-Si; while more than 16% efficiency was demonstrated on monocrystalline wafers. Cell interconnection by conductive adhesive was developed and performs well.
