Abstract
Bifacial semi-transparent perovskite (PVSK) solar cell is a promising candidate to achieve high photo-electrical conversion efficiency (PCE) in a tandem structure with Si solar cells. The gap between lab-scale cells and large area modules needs to be closed using innovative patterning technology. In this paper we demonstrate that a single nanosecond pulsed laser (wavelength 532 nm, pulse duration 7 ns) can be used to perform all scribing processes, i.e. P1, P2 and P3, to manufacture PVSK solar modules. Compared to picosecond or femtosecond lasers reported in the literature, our approach has the advantages of high stability and low cost, and is thus applicable to large scale manufacturing of PVSK solar modules. Detailed laser processing parameters such as laser power and overlap ratio etc. have been studied to achieve optimal results for each scribing process. A mini module with two cells was fabricated on a 2 × 2 cm2 substrate, showing an active area efficiency of 12.5%, FF of 72.4%, and high GFF of 94%.
