n-type silicon cells by a broad base of cell and module suppliers include the higher cost to manufacture a p-type emitter junction and the higher cost of the n-type mono silicon crystal. Technologies to reduce the cost of manufacturing the p-type emitter by diffusion or implantation of boron are being developed in the industry .
The superior crystal quality of high-performance multicrystalline silicon (HP mc) in combination with the inherent benefits of n-type doping (higher tolerance to common impurities) should allow the fabrication of high-efficiency solar cells also on mc silicon.
Future high efficiency silicon solar cells are expected to be based on n-type monocrystalline wafers. Cell and module photovoltaic conversion efficiency increases are required to contribute to lower cost per watt peak and to reduce balance of systems cost.
