Customer ServiceIt has now been 175 years since 1839 when Alexandre Edmond Becquerel observes the photovoltaic (PV) effect via an electrode in a conductive solution exposed to light . It is instructive to look at the history of PV cells since that time because there are lessons to be learned that can provide guidance for the future development of PV cells.
Breakthroughs in the production of these cells include the introduction of an aluminum back surface field (Al-BSF) to reduce the recombination rate on the back surface, or the development of Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell (PERC) technology to further reduce the recombination rate on the back surface 3. Second Generation of Photovoltaic Cells
The first generation of photovoltaic cells includes materials based on thick crystalline layers composed of Si silicon. This generation is based on mono-, poly-, and multicrystalline silicon, as well as single III-V junctions (GaAs) . Comparison of first-generation photovoltaic cells :
The efficiency of photovoltaic cells is determined by the material quality that is used in their manufacture . The theoretical efficiency threshold for first-generation PV cells appears to have been estimated at 29.4%, and a sufficiently close value was reached as early as two decades ago.
• 1954 - Bell Labs announces the invention of the first modern silicon solar cell . These cells have about 6% efficiency. The New York Times fo recasts that solar cells will eventually lead to a source of "limitless energy of the sun." • 1955 - Western Electric licences commercial solar cell technologies.
French scientist Edmond Becquerel first discovered the photovoltaic effect in 1839. This process occurs when light is absorbed by a material and creates electrical voltage. Most modern solar cells use silicon crystals to attain this effect.
