Aerosol Jet printed solar cells achieve efficiencies of over 20%

(04/01/2009)

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) has continued progress in producing high-efficiency solar cells using Aerosol Jet printing equipment developed by Optomec. The Aerosol Jet printed solar cells achieved efficiencies of over 20% when combined with Light Induced Plating (LIP) and Annealing, versus an average efficiency for screen-printed mono-crystalline front junction silicon solar cells in the range of 16–18%. The narrowe... [more]
