Abstract

We investigated the optimization of poly-Si solar cell characteristics for the various factors. The influencing factors were investigated in terms of emitter thickness, thermal treatment, surface treatment, grid design, and contact metal. First, we carried out solar cell simulation using a PC1D software package. Then poly-Si solar cells were fabricated and characterized in terms of structural, electrical, and optical properties. Pretreatment temperature of 900 °C, chemical surface polishing of poly-Si substrate, emitter thickness of 0.43 μm, top Yb metal, and grid finger shading area of 7% gave an improved conversion efficiency of poly-Si solar cell.
