Customer ServiceSolar cells based on silicon now comprise more than 80% of the world’s installed capacity and have a 90% market share. Due to their relatively high efficiency, they are the most commonly used cells. The first generation of photovoltaic cells includes materials based on thick crystalline layers composed of Si silicon.
An alternative method to classify solar cell technologies is according to the complexity of the employed materials, i.e., the number of atoms in a single cell, molecule, or another repeating unit, as shown in Fig. 4.4. According to this model, the complexity of solar cell technologies ranges from elemental (lowest) to nanomaterial (highest).
The different physical principles are associated with the operation of different solar PV cells. However, the all well performing solar PV cells possess similar I-V characteristics and can be compared or characterized with each other on behalf of four factors viz. VOC, ISC, FF and PCE. 5.
