  • Patent number: 12294036
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a solar cell, a method for manufacturing a monocrystalline silicon wafer and a photovoltaic module. The method for manufacturing a monocrystalline silicon wafer includes: providing a monocrystalline silicon rod; squaring the monocrystalline silicon rod to form a quasi-square silicon rod with quasi-square cross-section having an arc, a length of the arc being not less than 15 mm; slicing the quasi-square silicon rod to form at least one quasi-square silicon wafer having the arc. The method for manufacturing at least one solar cell includes: using the method described above to obtain a quasi-square silicon wafer having an arc; forming a first solar cell by processing the quasi-square silicon wafer; scribing the first solar cell to obtain a square-shaped sub-solar cell and at least one strip-shaped sub-solar cell. The above methods improve the utilization rate of the monocrystalline silicon rod and reduce production cost.

  • Publication number: 20230250549
    Abstract: Provided is a method for preparing a gallium- and nitrogen-doped monocrystalline silicon using a Czochralski process, including: introducing a doping gas at least including a first amount of nitrogen into a molten mixture in a single crystal furnance; withdrawing a seed from the molten mixture while introducing the doping gas including a second amount of nitrogen into the molten mixture, a second ratio of the second amount of nitrogen to the doping gas being smaller than the first ratio; and upon occurrence of a shoulder of the monocrystalline silicon rod, adjusting the second amount of nitrogen to a third amount in such a manner that a third ratio of the third amount of nitrogen to the doping gas is greater than the second ratio, to form a monocrystalline silicon rod. A solar cell and a photovoltaic module including a gallium- and nitrogen-doped silicon wafer prepared therefrom are also provided.
