The market share of solar crystalline silicon (advanced c-Si) cells is expected to account for 25.6 percent of the global market by 2030. C-Si is the oldest photovoltaic technology and is largely dominant in the solar market.
They will remain so in the future photovoltaic (PV) market by playing a pivotal role in the solar industry. In this paper, we discuss two primary approaches that may boost the silicon - based solar cell market; one is a high efficiency approach and the other is a low cost approach.
PV Solar Industry and Trends Approximately 95% of the total market share of solar cells comes from crystalline silicon materials . The reasons for silicon’s popularity within the PV market are that silicon is available and abundant, and thus relatively cheap.
In 2012, multicrystalline silicon wafers represented over 60% of the solar cell market.
