Samenvatting:
We report on our high efficiency n-type metal-wrap-through (MWT) cell and module technology. In this work, bifacial n-type MWT cells are produced by industrial processes in industrial full-scale and pilot-scale process equipment. The n-type cells benefit from high recombination lifetime in the wafer and bifaciality. When combined with MWT technology, high-power back-contact modules result, which can employ also very thin cells. We will discuss optimization of the MWT contact layout and impact on paste consumption, showing how MWT technology, like multi-busbar technology, can support very low paste consumption while increasing efficiencies at the same time. We report a cell conversion efficiency of 21% (in-house measurement on a not conducting, but reflecting chuck), a significant gain compared to our earlier work. Full-size modules (60 cells) have been made with power exceeding 300Wp and cell-to-module ratios of the different I-V parameters are discussed. Modules from cells with average efficiency of 20.9% are pending. This work shows that low-cost n-type bifacial cells are suitable for industrial high efficiency back-contact technology.
