Crystalline silicon solar cells are today’s main photovoltaic technology, enabling the production of electricity with minimal carbon emissions and at an unprecedented low cost. This Review discusses their recent evolution, the present status of research and industrial development, and the near-future perspectives.
Except for niche applications, the status of crystalline silicon shows that a solar technology needs to go over 22% module efficiency at a cost below US$0.2 W −1 within the next 5 years to be competitive on the mass market.
The main advantage of monocrystalline silicon cells is the high efficiency that results from a high-purity and defect-free microstructure. However, the Cz method used to produce these cells has become complex, with multiple parameters governing the process, adding challenges in understanding and enhancing the current methodology.
Figure 1 indicates a consistent underestimate by the PV industry participants of the extent to which monocrystalline silicon would overtake directionally solidified silicon as the preferred wafering technology. When PERC solar cells were first commercial-ized, p-type multicrystalline silicon wafers still dominated the solar cell market.
Over the past decade, a revolution has occurred in the manufacturing of crystalline silicon solar cells. The conventional “Al-BSF” technology, which was the mainstream technology for many years, was replaced by the “PERC” technology.
