Popis: Recently an approach was published which describes the color tuning of crystalline Silicon (c-Si) solar cells based on plasmonic coatings. In the current work the influence of the plasmonic coating (Ag nano-particles) on the performance of the solar cells is investigated by mapping the electrical and optical parameters of a half-coated cell. The key findings are that parasitic absorption is the dominating loss mechanism. No significant influences on most of the electrical parameters have been identified.
