Abstract
This paper reviews the main research results related to PERC+ silicon solar cells. Compared to today’s industry typical passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) silicon solar cells with full-area rear aluminum layer, PERC+ solar cells apply an aluminum finger grid on the rear side and hence are able to absorb diffuse light from the rear side in addition to the direct sunlight which is absorbed from the front side. This bifaciality increases the energy yield of silicon solar modules by up to 25%. Since its first publication in 2015, the PERC+ cell concept has been rapidly adopted by several solar cell manufacturers due to the very similar process technology of bifacial PERC+ cells and main stream monofacial PERC cells. We summarize technological challenges, published PERC+ conversion efficiencies and PERC+ module technologies. First energy yield data of PERC+ field installations demonstrate the high energy yield potential of PERC+ solar cells.
