This work accomplishes a comparative study of metal–semiconductor contact degradation on two different types of silicon solar cells contacts. One of them was a thermally vacuum-evaporated Ti/Pd/Ag contact, and the other one was a screen-printed contact. An experimental and theoretical methodology wa...
