OverviewStructureHistoryAdvantagesDisadvantagesLoss mechanismsGlossary

A "front-junction" heterojunction solar cell is composed of a p–i–n–i–n-doped stack of silicon layers; the middle being an n-type crystalline silicon wafer and the others being amorphous thin layers. Then, overlayers of a transparent conducting oxide (TCO) antireflection coating and metal grid are used for light and current collection. Due to the high bifaciality of the SHJ structure, the similar n–i–n–i–p "rear-junction" configuration is also used by manufacturers and may have adv
