What is a BC solar cell?

A Back Contact (BC) solar cell, also known as an Interdigitated Back Contact (IBC) cell, is a type of solar cell where all the electrical contacts are located on the back of the cell. This means the front of the cell, which faces the sun, has no metal lines (called gridlines) obstructing it.

Can BC solar cells be used with other solar technologies?

Versatile Use: BC solar cells can be combined with other solar technologies like PERC, TOPCon, and HJT to create even more efficient hybrid cells. For example, combining BC technology with HJT cells forms an HBC cell, which boasts very high efficiency rates.

How does a BC solar cell work?

However, these gridlines block some of the sunlight, reducing the cell’s efficiency. In a BC solar cell, the front side is entirely free of these obstructions. All the electrical components are placed on the back, allowing the cell to capture more sunlight and generate more electricity.

What is a back contact solar cell?

These lines are actually the front contacts that collect the electricity generated by the panel. Now, imagine a solar cell without these lines on the front. This is what we call a Back Contact (BC) solar cell. In BC solar cells, all the electrical contacts are moved to the back of the cell, allowing the front to capture more sunlight.

What is BC cell technology?

BC cell technology can be integrated with technologies like TOPCon and HJT to create highly efficient solar cells, such as TBC (TOPCon+BC) and HBC (HJT+BC) cells. These combinations harness the strengths of each technology for superior performance. What are the prospects of BC cell technology in the solar industry?

Why should you choose BC solar cells?

Sleek Appearance: Since the front is clear of gridlines, BC solar cells have a more uniform and attractive appearance, making them ideal for residential and commercial buildings where aesthetics matter. Less Heat Buildup: With fewer components on the front, BC solar cells can stay cooler, which helps maintain their efficiency over time.
