Summary / Abstract:
One key concern when implementing HJT cells is related to the metallization process, where several limitations are present when using low temperature Ag pastes, curable at 200°C to preserve the a-Si structure. These limitations are reduced printing speed and limited printing ability on fine lines, increased logistics costs, solderability. In this work we investigate two possible alternative routes to the mainstream paste models: the evolutional is based on room temperature paste, not requiring refrigeration and with increased printing performances and the revolutionary, using nano-Ag particles, is surpassing the usual printing speed by three times, with half the deposit if compared to the others.
