commercial silicon solar cells (based on the aluminum back surface field [Al-BSF] technology) were manufactured with both monocrystalline and multicrystalline silicon wafers.

Silicon-based solar cells can either be monocrystalline or multicrystalline, depending on the presence of one or multiple grains in the microstructure. This, in turn, affects the solar cells’ properties, particularly their efficiency and performance.
The main advantage of monocrystalline silicon cells is the high efficiency that results from a high-purity and defect-free microstructure. Currently, the Cz method has evolved into a highly sophisticated technique, governed by multiple parameters. This complexity adds further challenges in understanding and enhancing the current methodology.
The first mainstream 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.
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.
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.
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 .
