Abstract

At the moment search, production and use of renewable energy sources is a very actual task. One of approaches, which allow to resolve this problem is development of high-effective thin-film solar cells based on silicon. Recently laser technologies have been widely used to increase energy conversion efficiency. However some disadvantages of use of laser processing are that the areas of the solar cell, treated by laser, become unable to participate in the transformation of energy. Therefore, it is, necessary to minimize the area of the solar cell treated by laser.
