Abstract

This paper presents the technology of selective emitter for high efficiency crystalline silicon solar cell. The effect of selective emitter is analyzed by using the simulation program for solar cell, PC1D. The selective emitter shows better spectral response in short wavelength regions compared to homogeneous emitter. Therefore, the efficiency of solar cell with selective emitter can be improved by changing the sheet resistance from 60 $\Omega/\square$ to 120 $\Omega/\square$. In addition, the power loss of solar cell can be minimized by optimizing width and gap of the finger electrodes on the selective emitter.
