Plated TOPCon solar cells & modules with reliable fracture stress
3.3 Reliability 3.3.1 4-point bending test of metallized solar cells. As shown by Kaule et al. [10, 11] and Kohn et al. [] the metallization process can be governing the strength of silicon solar cells. 4-point bending tests were performed to determine the fracture stress of bifacial TOPCon solar cells.This analysis wants to answer the question if plated metallization increases the risk of
