Evaluation of a New Acid Solution for Texturization of Multicrystalline Silicon Solar Cells

Surface texturing methods using an alkaline solution for monocrystalline Si (c-Si) solar cells have been widely accepted to improve cell performance. However, multicrystalline Si (mc-Si) cells are difficult to be texturized by alkaline etching, because the grains in the substrates are randomly orien...
