Abstract

Laser applications in processing of energy harvesting materials include include laser scribing, net shaping, surface alloying, doping, and texturing. Specifically, some of the typical applications of lasers in energy harvesting materials include scribing of silicon photocells, surface texturing for hydrophobicity and photon capturing, creating selective surfaces for photo‐thermal applications in solar energy receivers, shaping and trimming of thermoelectric pins, doping applications in solar cells, and localized connections of solar active elements. Laser processing provides several advantages over the conventional processes, including precision of operation, local treatment, fast processing, and low cost.
