The HJT cells are processed at < 250 °C which saves a lot of energy during manufacturing cells. The number of steps required to manufacture these cells are halved compared to the industry standard PERC.
This perspective focuses on the latter PC technology, more commonly known as silicon heterojunction (SHJ) technology, which achieved the highest power conversion efficiency to date for a single-junction c-Si solar cell. Moreover, the SHJ technology has been utilized in realizing world record perovskite/c-Si tandem solar cells.
New technologies including tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) and heterojunction (HJT) provide chances Solar resources and annual average temperatures of Golmud, Berlin, Jinan, Dallas and Dubai. of lowering the levelised cost of energy (LCOE), even based on the fact that the price of n-type modules is currently higher than PERC.
The PR of HJT based plant is 4.7%abs greater than the PERC based plant which clearly shows the advantages of utilizing HJT technology. With such advantages, HJT stands out tall when compared to its competitors in almost all the fields. Figure 7: Comparison between HJT & PERC. Where is the world going ahead with HJT?
Next, with HJT having better surface passivation & low light performance along with lowest initial degradation, we find that the specific energy output of HJT based power plant stands at 1922 kWh/kWp/year which is around 6% higher than PERC based power plants.
Overall, the cost difference between SHJ and PERC for typical production efficiencies (∼22.5% for SHJ and ∼21.5% for mono-PERC) currently stands at ∼4.67¢/Wp. This gap reduces to ∼3.6¢/Wp when considering practical PCE limits for both device technologies (26% for SHJ and 24% for mono-PERC).
