World in this century had seen extensive dependence of human civilization on energy sources. Earlier dependence on coal fired power plant and petroleum products have caused problem such as climate change and global warming. Solar energy is the next viable option which causes least negative impact on our environment. Current demand in industry is to increase the efficiency of the installed solar module by optimizing the cost and efficiency. Busbars are the metallic strips printed on the front side of solar cell, the generated current due to photoelectric effect is carried by these busbars. Silver being the best conductive material, busbars are made of silver paste. Computational studies have shown that increasing the busbar increases the efficiency at cell level and also decreases the amount of silver required to carry current along the busbar. Current work focuses on effect of increasing the no of busbar on the efficiency and also the silver paste consumption. This work shows the increase in efficiency is around 5% for 5 BB and around 10% for the 6 BB from current industrial module working with 4 BB and silver paste consumption is reduced by 42% and 58% for 5 BB and 6 BB respectively. This works shows that multi busbar technology could be used to improve efficiency and simultaneously reduces the input cost.
