The champion efficiencies of n/p-type solar cells based on the TOPCon concept have been boosted to 25.8% and 26.1%, respectively, outperforming the conventional passivated emitter and rear contact (PERC) devices, thanks to the efforts of the photovoltaic community worldwide , .
With the increasing market share of n-type wafers and the obtainability of n-type modules at suitable price levels, a higher awareness among product users about the LID issue of p-type modules is expected soon, outlining another benefit of n-type solar cells in terms of LCOE.
Generally, in any high-efficiency n-type cell technologies, like in IBC or HIT solar cells, manufacturers are adding one or two production lines in their capacity expansion plans for upcoming years . Thus, n-type technologies will not be extensively accepted until the leap of PERC efficiency growth has been slowed down significantly. 5.4.
I generation solar PV cells The solar PV cells based on crystalline-silicon, both monocrystalline (m-crystalline) and polycrystalline (p-crystalline) come under the first generation solar PV cells. The name given to crystalline silicon based solar PV cells has been derived from the way that is used to manufacture them.
The total market coverage of n-type solar cells in 2016 was 92% by c-Si and 8% by thin-films [47, 48], as shown in figure 1 (a). Of the 92% of c-Si solar cell coverage, mc-Si covered 68% of the total solar cell market and 32% was covered by mono-crystalline Si, as shown in figure 1 (b).
It is seen that the solar cells on n/n + substrates show a lower contribution to series resistance compared to mono-crystalline substrates . For concentrator applications, the highest efficiencies were shown by back-contact cells .
