Renewable Energy Engineering

Background:

Industrialization of next-generation photovoltaics requires scalable deposition methods for high-efficiency perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (PSTs).
Key challenges include achieving high performance, uniformity, and compatibility with existing silicon manufacturing processes.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a scalable hybrid two-step deposition process for fabricating high-performance PSTs.
To demonstrate the viability of inkjet printing for industrial-scale PST production.

Main Methods:

A hybrid two-step deposition process combining evaporation and inkjet printing was employed.
The method was applied to fabricate wide bandgap perovskite solar cells and fully textured PSTs on silicon bottom cells.

Main Results:

Perovskite solar cells achieved power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) up to 19.8%.
Highly efficient, fully textured PSTs reached a PCE of 27.4%.
Homogeneous perovskite films were formed uniformly to the substrate edge, meeting industry standards for silicon edge isolation.

Conclusions:

The hybrid two-step inkjet printing method is a promising technique for scalable, high-efficiency PST fabrication.
This approach facilitates industrial adoption of advanced photovoltaic technologies.
