Design of metallization for higher-efficiency solar cells
Abstract
An analytical approach is outlined for the determination of front- and back-surface metallization patterns which provide for optimized overall efficiency under given constraints. Results of numerical calculations for a simple pattern illustrate optimum values of line width and fractional coverage and their dependence upon metal resistivity, substrate thickness and input concentration.
