Textured photovoltaic cell with pits for improved efficiency
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240014333A1) describes a novel photovoltaic cell design that aims to enhance energy conversion efficiency. The photovoltaic cell includes a cell body with a surface divided into a first region with a textured structure and a second region with a plurality of pits. The pits have a projection size ranging from 0.5 to 100 microns and a deviation angle of less than 15 degrees from the cell body's thickness direction. Additionally, the pits are arranged in an array with specific spacing criteria to optimize performance.
Furthermore, the patent details methods for preparing such photovoltaic cells, involving the creation of textured structures and micron-scale pits on the cell body's surface. These methods include the deposition of passivation layers on the textured structures and pits, as well as the application of electrodes on specific regions of the cell body. The patent also covers the preparation of photovoltaic cells with single-sided electrodes, providing a comprehensive approach to improving solar energy conversion. Overall, the innovative design and manufacturing processes outlined in the patent offer potential advancements in photovoltaic technology, with applications extending to photovoltaic modules for broader energy generation purposes.
