The technology is non-polluting and can rather easily be implemented at sites where the power demand is needed. Based on this, a method for fabricating polycrystalline silicon solar cells is sought and a thorough examination of the mechanisms of converting solar energy into elec-trical energy is examined.
Basic polycrystalline silicon based solar cells with a total area efficiency of app. 5% has been fabricated without the involvement of anti-reflecting coating. This is a resonable result considering that comercial high efficiency solar cells have a con-version efficiency of about 22%, as outlined in chapter 1.
Fabricated as thin layers, polycrystalline silicon also features all advantages of thin-film technologies, namely low costs due to low material wastage with up to factor 100 less material compared to wafer-based solar cells, and the technically feasible monolithic fabrication of large area devices.
In 1990, the conversion efficiency of laboratory cells increased by 35% with 5 mm 2. After that, the manufacturing technology of polycrystalline silicon cells became interesting for the investors. They became interested in the production of polycrystalline silicon, which is a low-cost technology .
Cells 92 (4) (2008) 418–424, Copyright (2008), with permission from Elsevier. Si played a vital role in the fabrication of polycrystalline cells until 1997. Silicon was needed for many applications such as microelectronic devices and PV devices, and the cost is very important to design PV devices.
