Finally, the roadmap of the solar cell efficiency for an industrial PERC technology up to 24% is presented, with the aim of providing a potential guideline for industrial researchers. This paper introduces PC2D, which is a new silicon solar cell device simulator that models 2-D effects entirely within a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

The data include: i) PC2D simulations on J 02, ii) the calculation of series resistance and back surface recombination velocity (BSRV) on the rear side metallization of PERC cell for the case of a point contact, and iii) the PC1D simulation on the cumulative photo-generation and recombination along the distance from the front surface. The optimal layer thicknesses found when the input spectrum is AM1.5G for a silicon-silicon device are: 3.3 m for the top absorber and 172 m for the bottom absorber. Aside from the information already presented in Huang et al., 2017, here we provide data related to Sectin 3 in Huang et al., 2017 concerning the analysis of the recombination lossesЧі mechanisms by PC1D V5.9 and PC2D simulations (Clugston and Basore, 1997, Basore and Cabanas-Holmen, 2011, Cabanas-Holmen and Basore, 2012 and Cabanas-Holmen and Basore, 2012.), ,, on our current industrial Al 2O 3 PERC cell. All silicon tandem devices were modeled in PC1D using precise solar spectrums generated with SMARTS. This data article is related to our recently published article ('20.8% industrial PERC solar cell: ALD Al 2O 3 rear surface passivation, efficiency loss mechanisms analysis and roadmap to 24%', Huang et al., 2017 ) where we have presented a systematic evaluation of the overall cell processing and a cost-efficient industrial roadmap for PERC cells.
