Being one of the most expensive steps in solar cell fabrication, it plays both an electrical and an optical role, because the contacts contribute to shading, and to the series resistance of solar cells. In addition, metal contacts may reduce the solar cells voltage due to charge carrier recombination at the metal \/ silicon interface. Addressing these challenges could increase solar cell conversion efficiency while cutting their production costs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis work presents state of the art methods for the metallization of crystalline Si solar cells for industrial production as well as for research and development. Different metallization technologies are compared, and ongoing R\u0026amp;D activities for the most relevant silicon solar cell metallization technologies are described in detail. Chapters cover fundamentals of metallization and metallization approaches, evaporated, plated and screen-printed contacts, alternative printing technologies, metallization of specific solar cell types, module interconnection technologies, and also address module technology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by a selection of world-renowned experts, the book provides researchers in academia and industry, solar cell manufacturing experts and advanced students with a thorough and systematic guide to advanced metallization of solar cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thorsten Dullweber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 183953155X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839531552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Institution of Engineering \u0026amp; Technology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.30w x 1.30d","brand":"Thorsten Dullweber","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944466055423,"sku":"9781839531552","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9230f854-3d72-46e4-aa4f-223d736a4f9f.jpg?v=1681503689","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/silicon-solar-cell-metallization-and-thorsten-dullweber-9781839531552","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
