Abstract

ABSTRACTCo‐optimization of the metallization and emitter dopant profile is fully investigated for selective emitter crystalline silicon solar cells. The simulation parameters for the laser doping selective emitter, metallization by plating, silicon nitride passivation, and aluminum back surface field are identified and reached. Internal light flux reflection is also considered in the model. In particular, the influence of the increased light trapping ability of a textured surface on the optimization results is clarified by comparing a cell with a non‐textured surface. In this paper, the optimization results, including the electrical performances of a solar cell are discussed in detail. On the basis of these simulation results, an optimized metallization and emitter dopant profile is proposed. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
