The role of copper in bifacial CdTe based solar cells
We present an innovative back contact for CdTe solar cell by the application
 of a transparent conducting oxide, typically ITO, as a back electrical contact on
 CdTe/CdS photovoltaic devices that acts as a free-Cu stable back contact and at the same
 time allows to realize bi...

| description | We present an innovative back contact for CdTe solar cell by the application
of a transparent conducting oxide, typically ITO, as a back electrical contact on
CdTe/CdS photovoltaic devices that acts as a free-Cu stable back contact and at the same
time allows to realize bifacial CdTe solar cells, which can be illuminated from either or
both sides. The controlled insertion of a very limited amount of copper into the ITO back
contact permits to have reproducible devices with high efficiencies still keeping the
bifacial configuration. Thin CdTe layer solar cells with ITO back contact have been
realized with efficiencies exceeding 10%, the reduced thickness of CdTe allows to have a
better performance on the back-side illumination and reduces the amount of CdTe
material.
