  • Abstract
    Texturing has enabled the manufacture of SLIVER cells with efficiencies in excess of 19% and boosts in SLIVER module performance of 16%. The improvement was due to reduced reflection losses and improved light trapping. Excellent texturing results could also be expected on multicrystalline silicon wafers due to the isotropic nature of the texturing process
