Abstract
This study reviews recent industrial advancements in screen printing for silicon solar cells, highlighting achievements in fine line printing with finger widths below 20 μm in mass production. Experiments confirm that optimized screens and pastes can achieve 19 μm finger width. Stencil printing emerges as a promising technology for reducing silver consumption and improving busbar smoothness, with pilot testing for finger printing underway. Innovations in materials, such as non-conductive adhesives and solder paste, expand screen printing's applicability, particularly for IBC cells.
