Understanding and Minimizing Perimeter Losses of Silicon-Based Monolithic Tandem Solar Cells – A Simulation Study by Andreas Fell, Martin Bivour, Mario Hanser, Martin Schubert

“…Promising structuring variants and general design rules to achieve low perimeter losses with low structuring effort are then derived from the results. The losses are quantified to range from ~0.2 – 4%abs for a 1 cm2 top cell size, with the lowest values representing an unavoidable loss from the Si wafer conductance which is present also in champion cells with high structuring effort. …”
