Silicon Solar Cells: Materials, Devices, and Manufacturing

Multicrystalline CZ or FZ ingots are more highly stressed than cast multicrystalline ingots, and the grain boundaries are more electrically active, resulting in poorer cell efficiency. If ingot growth is initiated single crystalline but not dislocation free, the ingots soon become multicrystalline (an exception is the special case of using a tricrystalline seed [ 51.19 ]).

6 FAQs about [Multicrystalline Cell Efficiency]

What is the efficiency gap between multicrystalline and Fz reference solar cells?

We observe an efficiency gap between the multicrystalline and the FZ reference solar cells of ~1% abs. Compared to the FZ reference cells, the mc-Si cells also feature a significantly larger scattering in V oc and J sc as well as a fill factor loss of ~1.5% abs.

Why are multicrystalline cells cheaper than monocrystalline cells?

Multicrystalline cells are cheaper to produce than monocrystalline ones because of the simpler manufacturing process required. They are, however, slightly less efficient, with typical module efficiencies around 13–15% (Price and Margolis, 2010) and high-end products up to 17% (RENI, 2010).

What is a multicrystalline silicon cell?

Multicrystalline silicon cells. Multicrystalline cells, also known as polycrystalline cells, are produced using numerous grains of monocrystalline silicon. In the manufacturing process, molten polycrystalline silicon is cast into ingots, which are subsequently cut into very thin wafers and assembled into complete cells.

Can n-type multicrystalline silicon improve solar cell efficiency?

In the past years, research on n-type multicrystalline silicon revealed its large solar cell efficiency potential.

How are multicrystalline cells made?

Multicrystalline cells are produced using numerous grains of monocrystalline silicon. In the manufacturing process, molten multicrystalline silicon is cast into ingots, which are subsequently cut into very thin wafers and assembled into complete cells.

What is the difference between mono and multicrystalline silicon?

The most prominent difference between mono- and multicrystalline silicon is the presence of structural crystal defects such as grain boundaries in multicrystalline material. Especially in high-performance mc-Si, recombination-active grain boundaries have been identified to account for the majority of material-related losses , .
