Abstract

There are typically applied on both rear and front sides of electrical contacts to the solar cell. The front contact formation is particularly sensitive to many parameters. Accordingly patterning of front grid line is an important factor of solar cells. This paper describe the electrical conversion efficiency, inclusive of shading loss that gives various spacing between front metal grid lines. In experiments with variation of spacing. It was verified that the wide spacing of grid fingers could increase the series resistance, also the narrow spacing of grid fingers also implies a grid with a higher density of grid fingers. The sunlight of incidence was more of reflection by grid fingers. In result, the short circuit current, which contribute to conversion efficiency was decreased, because maximum power input was reduced and increase the series resistance.
