    This article has been accepted for inclusion in a future issue of this journal. Content is final as presented, with the exception of pagination. IEEE JOURNAL OF PHOTOVOLTAICS 1 Enhancing the Power Output of Bifacial Solar Modules by Applying Effectively Transparent Contacts (ETCs) With Light Trapping Rebecca Saive , Thomas C. R. Russell, and Harry A. Atwater Abstract—We have performed a computational study on the enhancement of the power output of bifacial solar modules with ef- fectively transparent contacts (ETCs). ETCs are triangular cross- sectional silver grid fingers that redirect light to the active area of the solar cell, therefore mitigating grid finger shading losses. Furthermore, ETCs can be spaced densely leading to light trap- ping. We modeled bifacial silicon heterojunction solar modules with varying front and rear illumination and ETC coverages. We determined that shading losses can be almost fully mitigated and that light absorption can be increased by up to 4.7% compared with state-of-the-art screen-printed bifacial modules. Furthermore, we calculated that grid resistance and silver usage can be improved when using ETCs. Index Terms—Bifacial solar modules, effectively transparent contacts (ETCs), light trapping. I.

  • CREATING LIVABLE ASIAN CITIES Edited by Bambang Susantono and Robert Guild
    CREATING LIVABLE ASIAN CITIES Edited by Bambang Susantono and Robert Guild APRIL ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK Book Endorsements Seung-soo Han Former Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea Creating Livable Asian Cities comes at a timely moment. The book emphasizes innovative technologies that can overcome challenges to make the region’s cities better places to live and grow. Its approach encourages stronger urban institutions focused on all people in every community. The book will inspire policy makers to consider concrete measures that can help cities ‘build back better,’ in other words, to be more resilient and able to withstand the next crisis. In the post-pandemic period, livable Asian cities are a public good, just as green spaces are. Following this credo, however, requires Asia to invest in creating livable cities so they can fulfil their potential as avenues of innovation, prosperity, inclusiveness, and sustainability. In this book, Asian Development Bank experts map the challenges facing cities in the region. Its five priority themes—smart and inclusive planning, sustainable transport, sustainable energy, innovative financing, and resilience and rejuvenation—illuminate a path for urbanization in Asia over the next decade. This book will lead us to the innovative thinking needed to improve urban life across the region. Maimunah Modh Sharif Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director, United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) Creating Livable Asian Cities addresses various urban development challenges and offers in-depth analysis and rich insights on urban livability in Asia from an urban economics perspective. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is well-placed to review the investment needs of cities that will contribute to sustainable development.

The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Dr. Levent Gütay (University of Oldenburg). Abstract Englund, S. 2020. Alternative back contacts for CZTS thin film solar cells. (Alternativa bakkontakter för CZTS tunnfilmssolceller). Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1900. 106 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0866-1. In this thesis, alternative back contacts for Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film solar cells were investigated. Back contacts for two different configurations were studied, namely traditional single-junction cells with opaque back contacts and transparent back contacts for possible use in either tandem or bifacial solar cell configuration. CZTS is processed under chemically challenging conditions, such as high temperature and high chalcogen partial pressure. This places great demands on the back contact. Mo is the standard choice as back contact, but reacts with chalcogens to form MoS(e)2 while the CZTS decomposes, mainly into detrimental secondary phases. Thin MoS(e)2 is assumed to be beneficial for the electrical contact, but excessive thickness is detrimental to solar cell performance. The back contact acts as diffusion medium for Na during annealing when soda- lime glass is used as substrate.

  • Novel TCO Contacts for Fabrication of CIGS Bifacial Solar Cells
    Dottorato di Ricerca in Fisica Ciclo XXX Novel TCO contacts for fabrication of CIGS bifacial solar cells Coordinator: Prof. Cristiano Viappiani Supervisors: Prof. Roberto Fornari Dott. Edmondo Gilioli Candidate: Nicholas Cavallari A mio papà Abstract Object of this thesis is the development of viable technological processes for the fabrication of efficient bifacial solar cells. To this extent, a great effort was first made in order to prepare transparent conductive electrodes based on different oxide compounds and, secondly, to deposit the absorber and form the cell junction on such transparent back contacts. The new technological procedures were coupled to extensive simulation and characterization of both individual materials and working devices, which provided the necessary feedback for technology optimization. The bifacial solar cells (BFSC) considered in this thesis are all based on the compound Cu(In1-x,Gax)Se2 (CIGS), which is a very efficient light absorber. A major task of this work consisted in replacing the standard molybdenum back contact with a suitable transparent conductive oxide (TCO), and then tuning the physical properties of both TCO and absorber in order to maximize the transport of the photo-generated carriers across their interface. For all studied devices, both the absorber and the back TCO were grown via low-temperature pulsed electron deposition (LTPED). LTPED is a non-equilibrium deposition technique that relies on the ablation of a ceramic target by short and high-energy electron pulses. At IMEM-CNR in Parma, CIGS is deposited via LTPED at T=250°C. As it will be shown in the thesis, thanks to this low T (compared to alternative growth methods), high-quality CIGS may be obtained without post-deposition selenization on alternative and novel substrates, including TCOs.
