Wet Chemical Process Enhances Solar Cell Efficiency

The efficiency of solar cells can be increased simply and effectively by smoothing the back side through wet chemical etching. A smooth surface structure makes the back side highly reflective. During smoothing, the parasitic emitter on the back side is etched away as well, while a viscous paste protects the microscopic pyramidal structure on the front side. The process utilizes solely inexpensive and established technologies in industrial manufacturing of solar cells.
