The aim of the paper was a comparison between a conventional and an unconventional method to improve the quality of forming electrodes of silicon solar cells. The Screen Printing (SP) method is the most widely used contact formation technique for commercial silicon solar cells. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a modern manufacturing technique, which uses a high power CO2 laser to melt or sinter metal powder particles into a mass that has the desired three-dimensional shape, in precisely defined areas. The whole process is controlled by a program that is used for micro-processing. An innovative aspect of this method is the application of a nano silver paste to create the seed layer of the front electrode using the SLS methodTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za strojništvo
