Measurements and Simulations on the Mechanisms of Efficiency Losses in HIT Solar Cells

We study the electrical and the optical behavior of HIT solar cell by means of measurements and optoelectrical simulations by TCAD simulations. We compare the HIT solar cell with a conventional crystalline silicon solar cell to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the HIT technology. Results hig...
