Abstract

The metallization is the key to determining cell costs, call performance, and cell and system reliabiltiy. The Burled Contact Solar Cell (BCSC) was specifical1y desinged to be compatible tilth low cost, mass production techniques and avoid the conventional metallization problem. By using electroless plating trchniqeu, we performed this metallization inexpensively and reliabley, This paper presents the details of the optimization procedure of metallization schemes on laser grooved cell surface Commercially available Ni ,Cu, and Ag plating solutions were applied for the cell metallization. The application of those solutions on the buried contact front metalization has resulted in an cell efficiency of 18.5% The cell parameters are an open circuit voltage of 651 mV, short circuit current density of 38.6 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and fill factor of 73.5%.
