Technical FAQs 4

What is the difference between PERC & B PERC+ solar cells?

Typical scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of locally alloyed aluminum contacts of a PERC and b PERC+ solar cells. Whereas the local Al contacts of PERC cells often show voids and a thin back surface field (BSF), PERC+ cells exhibit filled contacts and a deep BSF.

What is PERC technology?

The answer lies in PERC technology - a revolutionary cell architecture that's transforming photovoltaic performance. PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) technology boosts solar efficiency by adding a rear passivation layer, reducing electron recombination and increasing light absorption to achieve 22-24% efficiency in commercial panels.

How PERC technology can improve the efficiency of PV cells?

Passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) technology can significantly increase the absolute efficiency of PV cells by over 1.2%. Since PERC processing is also compatible with current cell processing, and does not incur overly high manufacturing costs, many PV manufacturers are focusing on developing the industrialization technologies for PERC cells.

Are PERC solar cells efficient?

PERC solar cells face fundamental efficiency limitations due to carrier recombination at metal contacts and surface interfaces.
