Research on ultra-small textured surface of multicrystalline silicon solar cell

The ultra-small textured surface of multicrystalline silicon solar cell,prepared by electroless chemical-etching method,shows an excellent anti-reflection property over a wide spectral bandwidth.A novel back surface protection method and front surface passivation method have been used in the multicrystalline solar cells with ultra-small textured surfaces.With these improvements,the back surface remains intact after the etch process and the efficient minority lifetime is apparently increased.The test result shows that the solar cell with ultra-small textured surface can obtain better electrical performances by these improvements.
