AB Silver nanowires (AgNW) becoming promising alternatives to indium tin oxide (ITO) inorder to fabricate the transparent conductive films (TCF) that is often present in electronicdevices and is an inevitable part of all photovoltaic solar cells. Motivated by this fact, thiswork shows the results of carrying out the synthesis of AgNW, its deposition on Si waferstogether with ITO and the corresponding lamination processes to form solar modules.Furthermore, in order to observe the differences provided by nanowires, both, theelectrical and optical properties of the solar cells coated only with ITO and with acombination of ITO and AgNW are measured. This comparison includes measurementof different Si wafer thicknesses as well as modification of the lamination structure onwafers of the same thickness with the coating formed by the combination of ITO andAgNW. The results in this paper show a positive influence of AgNW, as it has led to clearimprovements of both the electrical and optical properties of the studied solar cells. Thisis a step forward on the route of substituing ITO for AgNW networks though, it must besaid, stability and reproducibility of AgNW are problems that remain to be solved.
