To overcome these problems, many techniques have been investigated. This paper presents an overview of high-efficiency silicon solar cells' typical technologies, including surface passivation, anti-reflection coating, surface texturing, multi-junction solar cell, and interdigitated back contact solar cell.
Solar cells of this kind, characterized by reduced material usage, lower manufacturing costs, and flexibility, typically achieve conversion efficiencies ranging from 6% to 15% (Jaiswal et al., 2022).
The efficiency of double-side contacted SHJ solar cells reached 25.1% in 2015, surpassing the champion efficiency of homojunction PERC cell, thanks to the breakthrough of a high FF over 83% .
The application of silicon heterojunction solar cells for ultra-high efficiency perovskite/c-Si and III-V/c-Si tandem devices is also reviewed. In the last, the perspective, challenge and potential solutions of silicon heterojunction solar cells, as well as the tandem solar cells are discussed. 1. Introduction
Efficiency losses in the solar cell result from parasitic absorption, in which absorbed light does not help produce charge carriers. Addressing and reducing parasitic absorption is necessary to increase the overall efficiency and performance of solar cells (Werner et al., 2016a).
Furthermore, Multiple researchers have conducted reviews on diverse cooling technologies that enhance the performance of solar cells. For instance, a review paper by Ghadikolaei provides an overview of various cooling technologies and their impact on the performance of commercially available photovoltaic (PV) cells (Anon (2002)).
