Abstract

With the increasing demand for renewable energy, polycrystalline solar cells are becoming the mainstream of the solar cell market. Due to the significant impact of polysilicon surface texturing technology on improving the cell conversion efficiency of polysilicon solar cells, various surface texturing technologies have been developed by the scientific community. This paper is dedicated to a review of these technologies. Firstly, the technical principles of mechanical grooving, laser texturing, reactive ion etching, wet texturing and electrochemical etching are analyzed in turn. A more comprehensive review of these technologies is then presented in terms of quality, efficiency, cost and environmental friendliness. Finally, future trends in polysilicon surface texturing technology are predicted. The significance of this paper is that it provides a comprehensive review and summary of the various polysilicon surface texturing technologies.
