Silicon Solar Cells: Materials, Devices, and Manufacturing
Solar cells convert sunlight into electricity via the photovoltaic effect. The photovoltaic (PV) effect was first reported in 1839 by Becquerel when he observed a light-dependent voltage between electrodes immersed in an electrolyte. However, nearly a century later in 1941, the effect was reported in silicon. In 1954, the first working solar cell module was announced. The

What is a crystalline silicon solar panel?
Most solar panels today use crystalline silicon. Fenice Energy focuses on high-quality, efficient production of these cells. Monocrystalline silicon cells need purity and uniformity. The Czochralski process achieves this by pulling a seed crystal out of molten silicon. This creates a pure silicon ingot.
What is the device structure of a silicon solar cell?
The device structure of a silicon solar cell is based on the concept of a p-n junction, for which dopant atoms such as phosphorus and boron are introduced into intrinsic silicon for preparing n- or p-type silicon, respectively. A simplified schematic cross-section of a commercial mono-crystalline silicon solar cell is shown in Fig. 2.
How are solar cells made?
The production process from raw quartz to solar cells involves a range of steps, starting with the recovery and purification of silicon, followed by its slicing into utilizable disks – the silicon wafers – that are further processed into ready-to-assemble solar cells.
How are silicon-based solar cells made?
Manufacturing typical silicon-based solar cells requires a number of different processes, starting from a raw material called Quartzite, a form of quartz sandstone rock. First, Quartzite, or silica sand, is converted into metallurgical-grade silicon by combining Carbon and Quartzite in an arc furnace.
What is the efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells?
Commercially, the efficiency for mono-crystalline silicon solar cells is in the range of 16–18% (Outlook, 2018). Together with multi-crystalline cells, crystalline silicon-based cells are used in the largest quantity for standard module production, representing about 90% of the world's total PV cell production in 2008 (Outlook, 2018).
How long do crystalline silicon solar cells last?
The first crystalline silicon based solar cell was developed almost 40 years ago, and are still working properly. Most of the manufacturing companies offer the 10 years or even longer warranties, on the crystalline silicon solar cells.
