The approach presented is especially helpful for ramping up PERC production; however, since it is basically transferable to any solar cell concept, it can also be applied to optimize established production lines.enPV Produktionstechnologie und QualitätssicherungPhotovoltaikSilicium-PhotovoltaikCharakterisierung von Prozess- und Silicium-MaterialienHerstellung und Analyse von hocheffizienten SolarzellenPilotherstellung von industrienahen SolarzellenMesstechnik und ProduktionskontrollecharacterisationsiliconPERCsimulationanalysisUnderstanding process-related efficiency variations of mc-Si PERC cellsUnderstanding process-related efficiency variations of multicrystalline silicon PERC cellsjournal article
