          Abstract

          In this work, we introduce the demonstration of 5 × 5 cm 2 mini-modules based on radial junction silicon nanowire (RJ SiNW) devices grown by plasma-assisted vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) technique. The mini-modules are obtained thanks to an industrial laser scribing technique. The electrical parameters have been highlighted to address the performance of these devices and perspectives towards competitive RJ SiNW solar modules. Moreover, electroluminescence (EL) measurements were also conducted to assess the uniformity of the fabricated mini-modules. In addition, the structural characterization of solar cells and laser scribed lines has been assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The challenges and perspectives are also discussed.
