Customer ServiceThe IV curve of a solar cell is the superposition of the IV curve of the solar cell diode in the dark with the light-generated current.1 The light has the effect of shifting the IV curve down into the fourth quadrant where power can be extracted from the diode.

Customer ServiceThe ideality factor ( m) in the equivalent circuit of silicon solar cells is consistently ranging from 1 to 2 and rarely falls below 1, resulting in a relatively lower FF than 85%. Here, this work complements a systematic simulation study to demonstrate how to approach the FF limit in design of silicon solar cells.
Several factors determine the efficiency of a PV cell: the type of cell, the reflectance efficiency of the cell’s surface, the thermodynamic efficiency limit, the quantum efficiency, the maximum power point, and internal resistances. When light photons strike the PV cell, some are reflected and some are absorbed.
Basic schematic of a silicon solar cell. The top layer is referred to as the emitter and the bulk material is referred to as the base. Bulk crystalline silicon dominates the current photovoltaic market, in part due to the prominence of silicon in the integrated circuit market.
For silicon solar cells, the basic design constraints on surface reflection, carrier collection, recombination and parasitic resistances result in an optimum device of about 25% theoretical efficiency. A schematic of such an optimum device using a traditional geometry is shown below.

However, silicon's abundance, and its domination of the semiconductor manufacturing industry has made it difficult for other materials to compete. An optimum silicon solar cell with light trapping and very good surface passivation is about 100 µm thick.
