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.
Organic photovoltaic cells ( OPVs) or organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) can be easily manufactured using Ossila’s pre-patterned ITO substrates and a few simple spin coating and evaporating steps. This article, and its companion video, will guide you through this process and offer hints and tips for how to get the best devices.
Going the DIY route in creating your solar cell not only provides practical understanding and skills, it can also make solar power more accessible by bringing down costs, encouraging local enterprise, and fostering a sense of empowerment and accomplishment.
These wafers form the foundation of your solar cell. Doping involves adding a tiny amount of an element to the silicon to change its properties. Traditionally, boron and phosphorous are incorporated into the silicon to form the P/N junction necessary for a solar cell to function.
Silicon for solar cells needs to be single crystal, which means all the silicon atoms in the sample are perfectly aligned. This is achieved through a process called Czochralski process, which involves dipping a single crystal silicon ‘seed’ into molten silicon and slowly pulling it up and rotating it, creating the desired single crystal structure.
Silicon Ingot and Wafer Manufacturing Tools: These transform raw silicon into crystalline ingots and then slice them into thin wafers, forming the substrate of the solar cells. Doping Equipment: This equipment introduces specific impurities into the silicon wafers to create the p-n junctions, essential for generating an electric field.
