Abstract

We fabricate test modules with p-type Passivated Emitter und Rear Cells (PERC) and modules with cells that have a full-area aluminum rear side metallization (Al-BSF) to show advantages of an inherently lower operating temperature of cells with a PERC structure. We find a 4°C lower operating temperature for the PERC module under 1.4 suns if no temperature control is applied, an effect that is hidden under standard testing conditions but is advantageous under real operation conditions. We perform a 3D ray tracing analysis in the spectral range from 300-2500 nm for determining all heat sources in the module and combine this with a 1D finite element method model solving the coupled system of semiconductor, thermal conduction, convection and radiation equations for module temperature and power output. The simulations reveal that the root of the reduced temperature of the PERC modules is a higher reflectivity of the cells' rear side mirror.
