Abstract

The electrode contact property of silicon nano-textured solar cell was investigated. An industrial feasible technique was introduced to enhance the electrode contact. The electrical performance of nano-textured cells with this contact enhancement was measured and compared with the ones without. The series resistance was reduced significantly from 1.5Ω to 0.3Ω and the short-circuit current was increased from 27mAcm^-2 to 29mAcm^-2. The cell efficiency was improved from 6% to 10%. These data indicate that the contact enhancement is effective.
