It has already been mentioned that when finished c-Si solar cells are used for contact resistivity measurements, it is necessary to skip over contacts in order to measure the total resistance RT at different contact spacings d.
In the simulation, there are four resistors connecting the finger and the sheet. The current flow through each resistor of a solar cell with 85 Ω/□ sheet resistance and 0.002 Ω cm 2 contact resistivity is shown in Fig. 11 (b).
The most common method used to calculate the contact resistivity of crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells is the transmission line method (TLM). This method was originally proposed by Shockley (1964) and further developed by Berger, 1972a, Berger, 1972b, Berger, 1969.
This study investigated the effects of different resistivities on p-TOPCon solar cells. The results indicate that lower resistivity wafers have a higher implied open-circuit voltage (iVoc) value, but higher carrier mobility due to the low resistivity leads to an increase in saturation current density (J0).
Coming back to the robustness check, both solar cell sizes show very similar behavior. The least affected method is the illumination intensity variation, closely followed by the comparison of the corrected dark-illuminated method and the Suns- VOC vs. one-sun IV- method ( Fig. 8, Fig. 9 ). Thus, all these three methods seem to be similarly robust.
The effective contact resistivity and emitter sheet resistance between two fingers in each strip were measured and compared to quantify the contact degradation induced from longer field aging. The Arizona module suffered from higher resistance as compared to the Florida module due probably to longer field exposure and higher operating temperatures.
