6 FAQs about [N-type hit solar cell]
What is a hit solar cell?
The HIT solar cell is a unique high-efficiency silicon solar cell, which results from our amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cell technologies. In order to further expand the use of solar modules, it is necessary to thoroughly reduce the power-generating cost.

Our simulated 1D HIT solar cell consist of the p doped a-Si:H emitter layer, the n-doped c-Si absorber layer, the intrinsic a-Si:H passivation layer and the n+-doped a-Si:H Back surface field (BSF) layer i.e Al/TCO/a-Si:H (p)/a-Si:H (i)/c-Si (n)/a-Si:H (n +)/Al.
What are heterojunction solar cells (HJT)?
Heterojunction solar cells (HJT), variously known as Silicon heterojunctions (SHJ) or Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin Layer (HIT), are a family of photovoltaic cell technologies based on a heterojunction formed between semiconductors with dissimilar band gaps.
What is the conversion efficiency of heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin layer solar cell?
In this preliminary study, a conversion efficiency of 11.3% of heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) solar cell on 10 mm × 10 mm n-c-Si wafer has been obtained.
What causes a high VOC in a hit solar cell?
The high Voc of the HIT solar cell is achieved primarily by the effective passivation of defects on the c-Si surface with high-quality intrinsic a-Si:H. In the p-a-Si:H/n-c-Si heterojunction without intrinsic a-Si:H layers, tunneling is caused by the many localized states in the doped layer.
How efficient are hit solar cells compared to conventional p/n homojunction c-Si solar cells?
As we reported in 2006 , a very high conversion efficiency of 21.8% ( Voc: 0.718 V, Isc: 3.852 A, FF: 0.790, total area: 100.4 cm 2, confirmed by AIST) has been obtained with this structure. In addition, HIT solar cells exhibit a better temperature coefficient compared to conventional p/n homojunction c-Si solar cells.
