［Speaker］
Kenji Yamamoto
General Manager, Photovoltaic & Thin Film Device Research Labs. and Photovoltaics European Lab.,
Kaneka Corp.
[Abstract]
Both back contact Si solar cells and heterojunction solar cells have been intensively researched towards the very high efficiency of crystalline Si solar cells. In this seminar, present and future tasks of the research activity on hetrojunction solar cell in the world are overviewed.
Recent Progress in High Efficiency Silicon Solar Cell Development at SCHOTT Solar
［Speaker］
Axel Metz
Director, R&D Solar Cells,
SCHOTT Solar AG
[Abstract]
Achieving high efficiencies by using cost effective process sequences and technologies is a key prerequisite to secure sustainable growth of photovoltaic solar electricity. In this paper current development results in the field of high efficiency mono- and multicrystalline silicon solar cells will be reviewed.
[Profile]
Axel Metz holds a M. S. degree in applied physics and received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Hannover, Germany.
He performed his Ph.D. research on highly efficient crystalline silicon solar cells while working at the “Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin” (ISFH).
From 1998 to 2001 he headed the photovoltaic department of ISFH.
Since 2002 he is with SCHOTT Solar, currently as director R&D solar cells.
Status and Perspectives of PERC and MWT-PERC Solar Cell Development
［Speaker］
Daniel Biro
Head of Dept., High Temperature and Printing Technologies / Industrial Cell Structures Div.,
PV Production Technology and Quality Assurance,
Fraunhofer ISE
[Abstract]
Recently, remarkable progress has been made in the field of PERC and MWT-PERC solar cell development. Efficiencies exceeding 20% for p-Type devices on industrial level seem to be within reach and are demonstrated on small scale. This talk will focus on the recent developments in this field and will address the remaining challenges to be met for successful market penetration of this very promising structures.
[Profile]
Daniel Biro studied Physics at the University Karlsruhe and achieved his PhD at the University Freiburg in Germany. Since 1995 he works in the field of photovoltaics and is currently head of the department.
"High Temperature and Printing Technologies / Industrial Cell Structures" at Fraunhofer ISE in Freiburg.
