Crystalline silicon wafer technology currently dominates industrial solar cell production. Common devices feature opposing electrodes situated at the front and the rear surface of the wafer, and subsequent front-to-rear interconnection is used for module assembly. This paper describes the status and perspectives of the emitter wrapthrough (EWT) cell concept, which is a fully back-contacted solar cell. The functions which have to be fulfilled for this concept, as well as the corresponding challenges and advances, are discussed.
