Separation of individual strips from a solar cell workpiece, is accomplished by excluding a junction (e.g., a homojunction such as a p-n junction, or a heterojunction such as a p-i-n junction) from regions at which separation is expected to occur. According to some embodiments, the junction is excluded by physical removal of material from inter-strip regions of the workpiece. According to other embodiments, exclusion of the junction is achieved by changing an effective doping level (e.g., counter-doping, deactivation) at inter-strip regions. For still other embodiments, the junction is never formed at inter-strip regions in the first place (e.g., using masking during original dopant introduction). By imposing distance between the junction and defects arising from separation processes (e.g., backside crack propagation), losses attributable to electron-hole recombination at such defects are reduced, and collection efficiency of shingled modules is enhanced.

P-TYPE BIFACIAL SOLAR CELL WITH PARTIAL REAR SURFACE FIELD PASSIVATION AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREFOR

The present application belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and relates to a p-type bifacial solar cell with partial rear surface field passivation and a preparation method therefor. The solar cell includes a p-type silicon substrate. At the bottom portion of the p-type silicon substrate are arranged, from top to bottom, a silicon oxide passivation layer, an aluminum oxide passivation layer and a rear side silicon nitride anti-reflection layer.

Connected to the bottom of each of the boron source-doped layers is a rear side metal electrode layer, which penetrates each of the silicon oxide passivation layer, the aluminum oxide passivation layer and the rear side silicon nitride anti-reflection layer. The preparation method involves making a plurality of partial slots, by means of a laser, from the lower surface of the rear side silicon nitride anti-reflection layer all the way to the bottom of the p-type silicon substrate, and printing a boron source slurry into the slot region to form a high-low junction structure. The high-low junction structure increases the open-circuit voltage of a rear side cell of the bifacial solar cell. The slot region heavily doped with the boron source slurry is in contact with the metal electrode to form an ohmic contact, which results in a decrease in series resistance and an increase in fill factor, and increases the bifaciality of the cell without decreasing efficiency on the front side.
