Abstract
We developed microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) thin film solar modules on textured ZnO-coated glass. The single junction (p–i–n) cell structure was prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) at substrate temperatures below 250 °C. Front ZnO and back contacts were prepared by sputtering. A process for the monolithic series connection of μc-Si:H cells by laser scribing was developed. These microcrystalline p–i–n modules showed aperture area efficiencies up to 8.3% and 7.3% on aperture areas of 64 and 676 cm2, respectively. The temperature coefficient of the efficiency was −0.4%/K.
