- the conversion efficiency of the 4 and 5 cell sheets after re-annealing is increased to over 18%, the filling factor is also higher than 70%, and the filling factor decreases very low before and after annealing.
- the set of cells also meets the efficiency requirements of the cell, and can be directly packaged in a high-efficiency film package without the need for sintering and annealing steps.
- the conversion efficiency of most of the inefficient films can be greatly improved, if it is still low by the requirements.
- the film can still continue the sintering and annealing steps.
- the method of the embodiment of the invention further improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell sheet and improves the economic benefit.
- Another embodiment of the present invention discloses a solar cell sheet fabricated by the above heat treatment process, wherein the solar cell sheet has a conversion efficiency of 18% or more and a filling factor of 70% or more, and the base material of the solar cell sheet is single crystal silicon.
- the N-type single crystal silicon has a hydrogen-rich anti-reflection film on the front and back sides, thereby causing oxygen-induced stacking fault (OSF) rings and voids, and "whirlpools" of vacancies in the cell substrate material.
- OSF oxygen-induced stacking fault
- Defects and the like are significantly less than defects in conventional single crystal silicon solar cells. Moreover, the solar cell sheet has substantially no defects such as a ring or a black core, and the conversion efficiency is improved.
- the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention in any way. Although the invention has been disclosed above in the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solutions of the present invention by using the methods and technical contents disclosed above, or modify the equivalent implementation of equivalent changes without departing from the scope of the technical solutions of the present invention. example. Therefore, any changes and modifications of the technical solutions of the present invention are still within the scope of protection of the technical solutions of the present invention.
