Popis: The enhancements in the short circuit current, open circuit voltage and efficiency of an n+/p polysilicon solar cell due to simultaneous passivation of the grain boundaries and the back contact are studied analytically. The results show that these enhancements are greater than the sum of the enhancements obtained by passivating the grain boundaries only and by passivating the back contact only. That is the enhancements due to simultaneous passivation cannot be deduced from studies on passivation of each boundary at a time.
