BP Solar have developed a cost-effective production technology for the manufacture of high efficiency laser grooved buried grid (LGBG) crystalline silicon solar cells. The process has demonstrated 17–18% photovoltaic conversion efficiency on a new demonstration plant recently commissioned at BP Solar España in Madrid. This paper outlines the technology of cell fabrication and details the performance characteristics of the resulting cells and modules. With low cost polycrystalline substrates the technology is expected to lead to a significant reduction in the fabrication cost per Watt of silicon solar cells.
