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.

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 heterojunction in chemistry?

Nan Meng, ... Haixue Yan, in Progress in Materials Science, 2023 Heterojunction refers to a junction formed by two semiconductor materials with similar crystal structure, atomic spacing and coefficient of thermal expansion but different energy band gaps.

How do we form heterojunctions?

Zhengcao Li, in Journal of Materiomics, 2024 The most common and efficient method to form heterojunctions involves combining a semiconductor oxide photocatalyst with other semiconductors or carbon nanomaterial.

What are some examples of low-thermal budget silicon heterojunction solar cells?

The prominent examples are low-thermal budget silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells and high-thermal budget tunnel-oxide passivating contacts (TOPCon) or doped polysilicon (poly-Si) on oxide junction (POLO) solar cells (see Fig. 1 (e)– (g)).

How are Batio 3 /metal heterojunctions built?
