How efficient are silicon heterojunction solar cells?

Silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells have achieved a record efficiency of 26.81% in a front/back-contacted (FBC) configuration. Moreover, thanks to their advantageous high VOC and good infrared response, SHJ solar cells can be further combined with wide bandgap perovskite cells forming tandem devices to enable efficiencies well above 33%.

What is the conversion efficiency of HJT cells?

The average conversion efficiency of the cell was 25.23%, and the maximum conversion efficiency of a single cell reached 25.69%, once again breaking the company’s cell production efficiency. It is reported that the factory’s HJT cells adopt bifacial microcrystal technology combined with silver copper paste.

How efficient are SHJ solar cells compared to baseline solar cells?

With this structure, we obtained a 1.35 mA/cm 2 increase in JSC which results in 0.78% abs efficiency gain with respect to the baseline SHJ solar cells, leading to a conversion efficiency of 27.60%.

How efficient are SHJ solar cells?

SHJ solar cells have reached a record efficiency of 26.81% with a high VOC of 751.4 mV in a front/back-contacted (FBC) configuration, and 26.7% in an interdigitated back-contacted (IBC) architecture . Till the end of 2022, the best TOPCon solar cell efficiency has reached 26.4% and POLO-IBC demonstrated an efficiency of 26.1% .

What is heterojunction technology?

Heterojunction technology is currently a hot topic actively discussed in the silicon PV community. Hevel recently became one of the first companies to adopt its old micromorph module line for manufacturing high-efficiency silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells and modules.

Does buried junction recombination increase conversion efficiency?

Despite the optical gain, we observed a VOC drop of 0.12 V and a FF reduction of 1.7% abs as compared to the baseline SHJ solar cells, due to the increased intrinsic recombination in the highly doped regions. Accordingly, the calculated conversion efficiency is 26.12% for SHJ solar cells with buried junctions.
