Prof. Raşit Turan

Division Coordinator
ODTÜ-GÜNAM Silicon Photovoltaic Technologies (SiPV) is Türkiye’s leading research and development division in the field of silicon-based photovoltaic solar cell technologies. SiPV Technologies Division has various technical opportunities and a rich infrastructure, especially the Photovoltaic Pilot Production Line (GPVL), which is the most comprehensive facility in our country and the region for the production of industrial-size solar cells. PERC/PERT/PERL, IBC, SHJ, Bifacial, and TopCon are primary research areas that increase productivity and improve processes in cell technologies. Research on domestic metal paste production and copper electroplating is also conducted under the roof of the division.

Alternative Industrial Manufacturing -Routes for Bifacial n-PERT Silicon Solar Cells

ODTÜ-GÜNAM Silicon Photovoltaic Technologies Division researchers’ study entitled “A comparative study on alternative industrial manufacturing routes for bifacial n-PERT silicon solar cells” has been published in the journal “Progress in Photovoltaics” having a high-impact factor. The complexities of the manufacturing routes for the bifacial n-PERT silicon solar cells vary mainly depending on the doping method, which can be either single-sided or double-sided. This study compared the performances of the cells fabricated with five alternative process flows proposed, mainly based on diffusion and ion implantation doping methods.
