Abstract

A new method for fabrication of transistor like structure of the bifacial solar cell using spin-on doping and electroless plating has been proposed and the basic characteristics of the bifacial cell have been investigated. It is found that 9％ increase in short circuit current is achieved with bifacial connection than the unifacial connection. Some unwanted effect of the series resistance on collection efficiency under different mode of illumination has been pointed out. Loss mechanisms inherent in the transistor like bifacial structure have also been discussed.
