Crystalline silicon solar cells are today’s main photovoltaic technology, enabling the production of electricity with minimal carbon emissions and at an unprecedented low cost. This Review discusses their recent evolution, the present status of research and industrial development, and the near-future perspectives.
Using photolithography to define the coverage fraction and controlling the doping profile in the adjacent regions in the wafer, this concept resulted in the first silicon solar cell with a 25% designated area efficiency in 1999 (ref. 55).
The theoretical limiting efficiency of the crystalline silicon solar cell under non-concentrating sunlight is about 29% . This is not far below the theoretical limit for any single junction solar cell.
There is very widespread and deep skill and infrastructure available in crystalline silicon technology, both within the photovoltaic and integrated circuit industries. Thousands of researchers and companies work in the area of crystalline silicon, feeding their capabilities into the manufacture of crystalline silicon materials, cells and modules.
The best laboratory and commercial silicon solar cells currently reach 24-25% efficiency under non-concentrated sunlight, which is about 85% of the theoretical limit. The main commercial motivation for developing higher cell efficiency is reductions in the area-related costs.
