Experiments were conducted to investigate if silver can be fully omitted from solar cells with copper plated fingers in combination with the NICE module technology. We could show that silver flash plating, front and rear silver busbars or pads can be omitted without compromising series resistance or module performance. All Copper NICE modules were manufactured with fillfactors up to 76.8 %.en621697All Copper NICE Modulesconference paper
