Screen-printed solar cells were first developed in the 1970''s. As such, they are the best established, most mature solar cell fabrication technology, and screen-printed solar cells currently dominate the market for terrestrial photovoltaic modules.
In photovoltaic applications, screen-printing is primarily employed in printing patterned Ag electrodes for crystalline-silicon photovoltaic cells (c-Si PVs), and then in printing mesoporous TiO 2 layer for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
Solar cells require metallic electrodes to extract the photo-generated charge carriers from the semiconductor. The electrodes are—except from specific cell concepts like the interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar cell 116, 117 —usually applied on the front and rear side using various metallization technologies like printing, electroplating, or evaporation.

Photovoltaics is the process of converting sunlight directly into electricity using solar cells. Today it is a rapidly growing and increasingly important renewable alternative to conventional fossil fuel electricity generation, but compared to other electricity generating technologies, it is a relative newcomer, with the first practical photovoltaic devices demonstrated in the 1950s.
The screen-printing process for making good contact of electrodes with the top layer of solar cells is crucial for enhancing the electrical properties of a solar cell.
Solar cells, also known as photovoltaic cells, have emerged as a promising renewable energy technology with the potential to revolutionize the global energy landscape. …
