The profitability of silicon solar cells is a critical point for the PV market and it requires improved electrical performance, lower wafer production costs and enhancing reliability and durability of the cells. Innovative processes are emerging that provide thinner wafers with less raw material loss. But the induced crystallinity and distribution of defects compared to the classical wafers are unclear. It is therefore necessary to develop methods of microstructural and mechanical characterization to assess the rigidity and mechanical strength of these materials. In this work, 4-point bending tests were performed under quasi-static loading. This allowed to conduct both the stiffness estimation and the rupture study. A high speed camera was ...
