TANDEM PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICE

摘要

A tandem solar cell. The tandem solar cell includes a bottom cell, a joining layer directly on the bottom cell, and a top cell directly on the joining layer. The bottom cell is a silicon solar cell and the joining layer includes a transparent conductive oxide layer. The transparent conductive layer facilitates the flow of current through the device, and passivates the silicon bottom cell.
