Approaches for reducing metallization-induced losses in industrial TOPCon solar cells by Mack Sebastian, Ourinson Daniel, Meßmer Marius, Teßmann Christopher, Krieg Katrin, Benick Jan, Huyeng Jonas D., Greulich Johannes, Wolf Andreas

“…Also, a too low firing set temperature leads to an incomplete hydrogenation of the interfaces. Recently, laser-enhanced contact optimization has been introduced to decouple recombination and contact properties to some extent, which allows for high fill factors and high open circuit voltages, and which explains the growing interest from manufacturers in that technology. …”
