Once the photovoltaic cells were encapsulated in the composite material as described, the resulting monomodules were coated with three different coatings with the aim to enhance the protection of the photovoltaic cells from ambient conditions.
Apart from these methods, lithography, screen printing, and roll-to-roll methods have been used in a few applications. However, the high temperature applied to the coatings on solar cells disrupts the PV properties of the solar cells. The purpose of the application of the heat is to ensure that the coating adheres to the surface.
Central to this solar revolution are Photovoltaic (PV) solar cells, experiencing a meteoric rise in both demand and importance. For professionals in the field, a deep understanding of the manufacturing process of these cells is more than just theoretical knowledge.
As the thickness of silicon cells increases, their efficiencies and costs increase; for this reason, photovoltaic cells have been manufactured at thicknesses of 200–400 µm by thinner over the years (Patel, 1997). Silicon cells are formed into panels because of their thin, fragile, oxidizable structure.
Understanding the construction and working principles of PV cells is crucial for appreciating how solar energy is harnessed to generate electricity. The photovoltaic effect, driven by the interaction of sunlight with semiconductor materials, enables the conversion of light into electrical energy.
