(Phys.org) -- Kaneka and imec report a large area (6 inch semi-square) heterojunction silicon solar cell with a certified power conversion efficiency of 22.68% with an electroplated copper contact grid on top of the transparent conductive oxide layer. This breakthrough is achieved at Kaneka Osaka lab using Kanekas copper electroplating technology which is based on imecs state-of-the-art copper electroplating knowhow.
