17 Electricity generation Sunlight Contact grid AR-coating 0,3 mm + N-type semiconductor Electron current + + Junction P-type semiconductor Back contact The photovoltaic conversion is the direct conversion of (sun)light into electricity by means of solar cells.

18 Solar cell generations First generation solar cells Based on crystalline silicon wafers 94% of all manufactured solar cells Fairly expensive, high efficiency_ Lab: 24.7 %, module: 22.7 % Second generation solar cells Various thin film technologies (approx. from 100cm 2 to 1m 2 from c-si wafers to glass sub.) 6 % of all manufactured solar cells Relatively cheap, moderate efficiency_ Lab: 18.4 %, module: 13.4 % Third generation solar cells Various new technologies Two options: Very cheap, moderate efficiency (~10-15 %) Relatively expensive, very high efficiency (> 30 %)

19 Defect passivation in c-si solar cells Defects are recombination sites for electron-hole pairs. Reducing the defect density increases the photo current, and consequently the solar cell efficiency. Approaches: chemical passivation: usingh atoms, by e.g. depositing a-si:h or SiO 2 film on c-si wafer. field-effect passivation: by repelling the electrons (or the holes) from defects with an electric field. combination: by e.g. depositing Al 2 O 3 or a-sin:h on c-si wafer Thin film technologies Plasma- enhanced deposition tools: expanding thermal plasma (ETP) atomic layer deposition (ALD)

20 Project subject development of cost effective highh efficient production of thin layer solarcells development of oxygen and moist permeation barrier system for PV encapsulation design and development of light trapping/management routes in thin layer solar cells in cooperation with:otb Roth & Rau, TNO Science, ECN experimental work included

21 Defect passivation in c-si solar cells Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are one of the emerging technologies based on abundant and low-cost materials. DSSCs are semi-transparent and semi-flexible, which allows for fabrication using conventional roll-printing techniques. Glas TC s O nc- TiO 2 Challenges: Decrease recombination of charge carriers at the interface of the photo-anode and the dye or electrolyte Avoid TCO degradation Improve counter-electrode transparency Approach: Deposit passivation layers on nc-tio 2, barrier layers on TCOs and counter-electrode by atomic layer deposition.
