The optimum bandgap of an ideal intermediate band (IB) solar cell is around 1.95 eV (under maximum concentration), and the IB divides it into two sub-bandgaps of about 0.71 eV and 1.24 eV (Popescu et al., 2008). At one sun, however, the efficiency is more than 40% for the ideal bandgap of 2.40 eV.
Literature indicates that at a cell temperature of 36°C, efficiency somewhat increases by up to 12%. However, efficiency starts to decrease above this temperature, as Fig. 13 a illustrates. There are many efficient methods for controlling the operating temperature of solar cells which include both active and passive approaches.
The energy production of the global solar module markets has increased from 867 MW in 2004 to 177.7 GW in 2021 and is expected to reach 536.9 GW in 2027 and 1780 GW by 2050. This growth has largely occurred with c-Si and CdTe module technologies.
The prospects of various solar cell technologies are promising but differ in focus. Silicon-based solar cells continue to evolve, with prospects for improved efficiency and cost reduction through advanced materials and manufacturing techniques.
