Abstract
Abstract We present an industrial tunnel oxide passivated contacts (i‐TOPCon) bifacial crystalline silicon (c‐Si) solar cell based on large‐area n ‐type substrate. The interfacial thin SiO 2 is thermally growth and in situ capped by an intrinsic poly‐Si layer deposited by low‐pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). The intrinsic poly‐Si layer is doped in an industrial POCl 3 diffusion furnace to form the n + poly‐Si at the rear, which shows an excellent surface passivation characteristics with J 0 = 2.6 fA/cm 2 when passivated by a SiN x :H layer deposited by plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). With an industrial fabrication process, the cells are manufactured with screen‐printed front and rear metallization, using large‐area 6‐in. n ‐type Czochralski (Cz) Si wafers. We demonstrate an average front‐side efficiency greater than 23% and an open‐circuit voltage V oc greater than 700 mV. These results are based on more than 20 000 pieces of cells from mass production on a single day, in an old conventional multicrystalline silicon (mc‐Si) Al‐back surface field (BSF) cell workshop, which has been upgraded to i‐TOPCon process. The best cell efficiency reaches 23.57%, as independently confirmed by Fraunhofer CalLab. A median module power greater than 345 W and a best module power greater than 355 W are demonstrated with double‐glass bifacial i‐TOPCon modules consisting of 120 pieces of half‐cut 161.7 mm pseudosquare i‐TOPCon cells with nine busbars.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
