Abstract
Significant improvements are reported in the energy conversion efficiency of low resistivity silicon solar cells when measured under concentrated sunlight. These improvements result primarily from increased short-circuit current density due to the use of a microgrooved cell structure with obliquely transversing metallization fingers. Peak efficiencies are 23.6% at 100 suns concentration with values up to 22.7% maintained at 273 suns concentration.
