Reflectivity of solar cell silicon wafer

What is the surface reflection of silicon wafer in photovoltaic industry?

The present state-of-the-art for surface reflection of silicon wafer in photovoltaic industry is around 3–4%, but these results require complex experimental procedures and costly instruments.

Can a monocrystalline silicon wafer 100 be surface texturized?

This paper discusses surface texturization of monocrystalline silicon wafer 〈100〉 by using a very simple and cost effective technique consisting of a combination of mechanical grinding and chemical etching, to achieve desired surface reflectance for solar cell applications.

Can crystalline silicon wafers improve solar cell efficiency?

Texturing of crystalline silicon wafer has emerged as one of the essential processes to reduce incident light reflection and consequently to increase solar cell efficiency [ 7 ].

Does surface reflectance change after texturing a silicon wafer?

The change in surface reflectance may be correlated with the change in surface roughness parameters of silicon wafer after texturing. The roughness measurements are performed by using white light interferometry based three dimensional optical profiler.

What is the surface roughness and reflectance of silicon solar cells?

Surface roughness and reflectance in silicon solar cells were changed depending on the laser oscillation energy utilized for texturing. The roughness and reflectance were measured using AFM and UV–Vis, respectively. The laser oscillation energy of 84 J/p had the highest average roughness of 0.2104 m and the lowest reflectance of 5%.

What is the average reflectance of silicon surface by Fresnel equations?

Average reflectance (400-1100 nm) of silicon surface by Fresnel equations with triple layer ARC was around 2.72%. Solar cell performances with each ARC structure were compared to evaluate the achieved output of reflectance of investigated thin films.
