Abstract

In this paper, we present our latest results toward high-efficiency thin-film silicon solar cells. Owing to the superior light trapping capability of periodic textures combined with other technologies, a new world record was achieved for the efficiency of single-junction microcrystalline silicon solar cells, with a conversion efficiency of 11.0%, independently confirmed by the Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) Characterization, Standards, and Measurement (CSM) team.
