AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The inventors have found that adding certain metals increases the size of the back surface field for better performance at longer wavelengths. This results in improved energy conversion from sunlight into electricity by making it more efficient than traditional methods like silicon cells. Additionally, they discovered that reducing lines' resistances reduces overall voltage drop across them while also improving their ability to absorb large amounts of incident radiation during long periods of time without burning out or losing effectiveness over multiple cycles.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in the patents relates to improving the performance and production rate of solar cells while reducing dark currents caused by reflection from incident sunlight onto their backs during photovoltaics conversion processes. Current methods involve adding extra layers made up of different metals to improve reflectivity without affecting absorption properties, resulting in decreased open circuit voltage and improved carrier generation efficacy. Additionally, these techniques require expensive equipment and long hours to perform multiple steps, leading to lower product yields compared to traditional methodologies.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a conductive paste for a solar cell electrode, including a metal powder, a glass frit and an organic vehicle, wherein the metal powder includes a metal powder having a sintering shrinkage rate of 15 to 30%, whereby the light-receiving area of the front electrode of a solar cell formed using the conductive paste including the metal powder having an increased sintering shrinkage rate can be enlarged and short-circuit current (Isc) can be increased, thus increasing the power generation efficiency of the solar cell.
