When we talk about solar cells, what we are actually referring to is a large family of materials known as photovoltaics. So, if you''ve ever wondered "how are solar cells made?", it''s important to understand that not all solar cells
Most solar cells can be divided into three different types: crystalline silicon solar cells, thin-film solar cells, and third-generation solar cells. The crystalline silicon solar cell is first-generation technology and entered the world in 1954. Twenty-six years after crystalline silicon, the thin-film solar cell came into existence, which is
Silicon is, by far, the most common semiconductor material used in solar cells, representing approximately 95% of the modules sold today. It is also the second most abundant material on Earth (after oxygen) and the most common semiconductor used in computer chips.
Silicon (Si) is the extensively used material for commercial purposes, and almost 90% of the photovoltaic solar cell industry is based on silicon-based materials , while GaAs is the oldest material that has been used for solar cells manufacturing owing to its higher efficiency.
In 2008, these batteries were the most used solar cells, accounting for 48% of total solar cell production, increasing their performance to around 12–14%. Ribbon-shaped silicon is an example of a glass-like polysilicon solar cell .
Solar PV cell materials of different generations have been compared on the basis of their methods of manufacturing, characteristics, band gap and efficiency of photoelectric conversion.
In terms of the cost of translucent silicon, this is the leading photovoltaic innovation to date . These batteries have a gap of material close to 1.5ev and have high adhesion strength. Therefore, it is the most preferred material for the innovation of light, and thin-film solar cells.
The first-generation of photovoltaic solar cells is based on crystalline film technology, such as silicon and GaAs semiconductor materials.
Molecular improved acceptor and donor materials, tandem solar cells and low-band-gap materials could be used whereas there should be focus and better understanding of polymer donor materials, non-fullerene acceptors as well as OSCs mechanisms for device degradation.
