Predicting Solar Cell Efficiencies from Bulk Lifetime Images of Multicrystalline Silicon Bricks
چکیده انگلیسی

We present a model for predicting the solar cell efficiency potential of multicrystalline silicon bricks prior to sawing. Three model inputs are required: bulk lifetime images from the side faces of the bricks, the cell manufacturing process, and its gettering action. The model is set up with numerical device and circuit simulations, but may afterwards be parameterized for inline application. In the example shown here, we chose literature data to quantify the increase in bulk lifetime caused by phosphorus gettering of impurities during cell manufacturing. Our proposed model enables manufacturers to (i) assess initial brick quality in relation to their specific cell production line, (ii) to exclude certain parts of the bricks from cell manufacturing, and (iii) to adjust cell manufacturing to initial material quality. The specific gettering efficiency and cell process can be fed into the model dynamically and need to be calibrated ideally for each material manufacturer and each cell production line. The model presented here can be extended to cast mono and dendritically grown bricks.
