Device Architecture and Lifetime Requirements for High Efficiency Multicrystalline Silicon Solar Cells

We present a numerical simulation study of different multicrystalline silicon materials and solar cell architectures to understand today's efficiency limitations and future efficiency possibilities. We compare conventional full-area BSF and PERC solar cells to future cell designs with a gallium...
