An Investigation on a Crystalline-Silicon Solar Cell with Black Silicon Layer at the Rear

Abstract Crystalline-Si (c-Si) solar cell with black Si (b-Si) layer at the rear was studied in order to develop c-Si solar cell with sub-band gap photovoltaic response. The b-Si was made by chemical etching. The c-Si solar cell with b-Si at the rear was found to perform far better than that of simi...
