In Si solar cells, the cost of the Si wafer itself accounts for over 50 % of energy conversion; therefore, economic use of Si contributes significantly towards lowering cost. Thin-film (~25 μm) crystalline Si (c-Si) solar cells films are ideally-suited for low-cost photovoltaics. These thin-film c-Si solar cells are manufactured through a wide range of industrial processes including epitaxial growth,...
Thin-film, high efficiency crystalline Si solar cells promise significant cost savings in contrast with conventional substrate solar cells. These savings are achieved through reduced Si usage assuming highly (~20-30%) efficient thin film Si solar cells can be manufactured. A necessary condition for high efficiency solar cells in thin-film configurations is complete optical absorption of sunlight....
Silicon Solar photovoltaic (PV) industry has maintained sustained growth rates over last 15 years and the future outlook appears to be even brighter considering continuously rising oil prices and ensuing environmental concerns. Most of this growth has been confined to economically advanced countries, tied to grid-connected applications based on government subsidies. In order to meet rising demands,...
