PV Solar Industry and Trends Approximately 95% of the total market share of solar cells comes from crystalline silicon materials . The reasons for silicon’s popularity within the PV market are that silicon is available and abundant, and thus relatively cheap.
However, the efficiency of these cells is greatly influenced by their configuration and temperature. This research aims to explore the current–voltage (I−V) characteristics of individual, series, and parallel configurations in crystalline silicon solar cells under varying temperatures.
Silicon-based solar cells are still dominating the commercial market share and continue to play a crucial role in the solar energy landscape. Photovoltaic (PV) installations have increased exponentially and continue to increase. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of cumulative PV installations was 30% between 2011 and 2021 .
The average value globally stands at 27.07%. The highest Si cell efficiency (30.6%) on Earth can be reached in the Nunavut territory in Canada while in the Borkou region in Chad, silicon solar cells are not more than 22.4% efficient.
During this period, the solar industry has witnessed technological advances, cost reductions, and increased awareness of renewable energy’s benefits. As more than 90% of the commercial solar cells in the market are made from silicon, in this work we will focus on silicon-based solar cells.
Two basic design parameters are the band gap of the top cell and the thickness of the silicon wafer for the bottom cell, which are related. To unravel and quantify this intricate relationship, first, we use our simulation platform for the STC, and then, we run it for the whole globe.
