This means that for the right combination of ink solutions all the layers in the solar cell may in principle be printed in a single coating step. The large number of layers that can be coated implies that it would in principle be possible to process tandem and multijunction cells in one coating step.
Solar cells require an antireflective coating to help the cells capture the light particles, called photons, needed to generate electricity. Traditional crystalline silicon cells typically use a silicon nitride coating, sometimes in conjunction with a textured surface, to produce the necessary antireflective characteristics.
There are other processing techniques that are customary in traditional coating industry that may prove useful in the context of polymer solar cells such as chemical processing, light processing (using infrared, visible, UV or microwave radiation). At this point it is difficult to judge which techniques that may enjoy prevalence in the future. 6.
The production process from raw quartz to solar cells involves a range of steps, starting with the recovery and purification of silicon, followed by its slicing into utilizable disks – the silicon wafers – that are further processed into ready-to-assemble solar cells.
There has been one report that details large-scale processing of polymer solar cells which in part was based on R2R processing and that study confirmed that processing by coating/printing is of low cost which is not surprising.
Material processing in solar cell fabrication is based on three major steps: texturing, diffusion, and passivation/anti-reflection film. Wafer surfaces are damaged and contaminated during slicing process. Alkaline and acid wet-chemical processes are employed to etch damaged layers as well as create randomly textured surfaces.
