In an attempt to promote solar energy utilization, this comprehensive review highlights the trends and advances of various PV cell technologies. The feasibility of PV cell technologies is accomplished by extending the discussion on generations of PV technology, PV building materials, efficiency, stability, cost analysis, and performance.
PV Cell Technologies The most popular PV cell technologies in use today are PERCs, TOPCon, IBCs, HJTs, Multi Busbar cells, half-cut and 1/3 cut cells, Shingled Cells, Gapless Cells and Bifacial solar cells.
The key components of photovoltaic (PV) systems are PV modules representing basic devices, which are able to operate durably in outdoor conditions. PV modules can be manufactured using different materials by different fabrication technologies.
The latest trends in silicon photovoltaic cell development are methods involving the generation of additional levels of energy in the semiconductor’s band structure. The most advanced studies of manufacturing technology and efficiency improvements are now concentrated on third-generation solar cells.
Due to their relatively high efficiency, they are the most commonly used cells. The first generation of photovoltaic cells includes materials based on thick crystalline layers composed of Si silicon. This generation is based on mono-, poly-, and multicrystalline silicon, as well as single III-V junctions (GaAs) [17, 18].
NREL Best Research-Cell Efficiencies chart . Photovoltaic cells can be categorized by four main generations: first, second, third, and fourth generation. The details of each are discussed in the next section. 2. Photovoltaic Cell Generations In the past decade, photovoltaics have become a major contributor to the ongoing energy transition.
