Abstract:
A method for producing a solar cell having two-stage doping (20a, 20b; 34a, 34b; 44a, 44b), wherein a doping region (20; 28; 44) of a solar cell substrate (10; 11) is slightly doped (132) at least in some sections, a diffusion barrier (12; 16; 42) is configured (102; 122) in the doping region (20; 28; 44) on a surface of the solar cell substrate (10; 11), local openings (16; 30; 47) are introduced (104; 114; 134) into the diffusion barrier (12; 26; 42), and the solar cell substrate (10; 11) in regions of the local openings (16; 30; 47) is heavily doped (106; 136), wherein the diffusion barrier (12; 26; 42) is thermally grown or applied (102; 122) onto the surface of the solar cell substrate by means of chemical or physical deposition from a vapor phase.
Abstract:
A diffusion device (1; 28) for the production of solar cells comprises a first dopant source applicator {3) by means of which a dopant source (5) can be disposed on a substrate (7), a first continuous furnace (12) arranged downstream in the process direction (10) through which the substrates (7) can pass, by means of which dopant from the dopant source (5) can be diffused into the substrate (7), and a second continuous furnace (14; 44) arranged downstream of the first continuous furnace (12) in the process direction which is disposed such that a surface passivating layer is formed on the substrates (7) while they pass through the second continuous furnace (14; 44), and an etching device (16) disposed between the first (12) and the second (14; 44) continuous furnace which is arranged to at least partially remove layers formed at the surface of the substrates (7) during the passage through the first continuous furnace (12); and a process for producing solar cells (60).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a modularly mountable solar cell arrangement, particularly for mounting on buildings, comprising solar cells that are encapsulated in mounting modules. To this end, the invention provides that a separate module connection is supplied to each solar cell.
