IBC solar cell technology restructures components in the solar cell and includes additional ones to increase efficiency for the cell, and provide additional benefits. In this section, we explain the materials and the structure of IBC solar cells, and we explain the operating principle for the technology.
At ISC Constance large area IBC solar cells with efficiency higher than 21% have been demonstrated using only industrially-proven process equipment . More recently, Trina Solar together with the Australian National University (ANU) have demonstrated small scale (2×2) IBC solar cells with conversion efficiency of 24.4% .
With an increased efficiency for IBC solar cells, an IBC solar panel can be manufactured without space between cells, further increasing the power output per square meter for a single module. This makes IBC solar cell technology more compelling for applications with limited space.
IBC solar panels are manufactured by a few companies in the US, with the two most popular ones being SunPower and Trina Solar. SunPower is a solar company manufacturing solar panels in the US for more than 35 years.
One of the most innovative methods to have proven higher efficiencies using crystalline silicon (c-Si) cells is the Interdigitated Back Contact (IBC) solar cell technology.
IBC solar cell restructuration places frontal metal contact on the rear side of the cell, eliminating shade caused by the busbars. By doing this, IBC solar cell increases the photon effective absorption which results in reduced power losses and several other benefits.
