Customer ServiceThe p- and n-layers generate an amorphous silicon inner electric field [51]. Amorphous silicon refers to non-crystalline silicon [52]. Manufacturing amorphous silicon cells requires less energy but is more intricate than the crystalline panels, exhibiting lower efficiency, approximately 14 % below the crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells [53
Customer ServiceSolar Cell (Photovoltaic system) Solar energy is directly converted into electrical energy using devices known as "photovoltaic cells or solar cells." Photovoltaic cells are fabricated from semiconducting materials like silicon as they produce electricity when light strikes their surface (the process of absorption).
Customer ServiceThis chapter focuses on amorphous silicon solar cells. Significant progress has been made over the last two decades in improving the performance of amorphous silicon (a-Si) based solar cells and in ramping up the commercial production of a-Si photovoltaic (PV) modules, which is currently more than 4:0 peak megawatts (MWp) per year.
Customer ServiceThe manufacture of amorphous silicon photovoltaic cells is based on plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), which can be used to produce silicon thin film. Substrate can be made of the flexible and inexpensive material in larger sizes, for example stainless steel or plastic materials. The process is the roll-to-roll method.
The use of amorphous silicon in the silicon-based solar cells is the most recent and an emerging technology these days. It is a cost-efficient approach and offers the great flexibility. The only disadvantage of amorphous silicon-based solar cells is the reduced efficiency and poor performance.
Amorphous silicon solar cells can be fabricated in a stacked structure to form multijunction solar cells. This strategy is particularly successful for amorphous materials, both because there is no need for lattice matching, as is required for crystalline heterojunctions, and also because the band gap is readily adjusted by alloying.
The main disadvantage of amorphous silicon solar cells is the degradation of the output power over a time (15% to 35%) to a minimum level, after that, they become stable with light . Therefore, to reduce light-induced degradation, multijunction a-Si solar cells are developed with improved conversion efficiency.
The overall efficiency of this new type of solar cell was 7.1–7.9% (under simulated solar light), which is comparable to that of amorphous silicon solar cells .
The amorphous silicon solar cell has a much higher absorption compared to the crystalline silicon solar cell because of its disorder in the atomic structure. The optical transitions are perceived as localized transitions, thus increasing the efficiency for optical transitions.
