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.
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.
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.
By eliminating the front metal contacts that tend to block sunlight, IBC panels maximize the effective surface area of the solar cells. The electrical contacts of the IBC panels are located on the back to capture more sunlight and convert it into electricity efficiently.
The biggest feature of IBC solar cells is that the PN junction and metal contacts are on the back of the solar cell. There is no metal electrode shielding on the front, so it has a higher short-circuit current Isc.
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.
