This work aims at the full recovery of efficiency losses induced by shingling double-side poly-Si/SiOx passivated contacts crystalline silicon solar cells. It focuses on thermally-activated Aluminium Oxide (AlOx) layers elaborated by thermal Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) to passivate the edges of sh...
