This section will introduce and detail the basic characteristics and operating principles of crystalline silicon PV cells as some considerations for designing systems using PV cells. A PV cell is essentially a large-area p–n semiconductor junction that captures the energy from photons to create electrical energy.
Thin-film silicon solar cells' performance is assessed for different light sources. PV parameters are dependent on light source and illumination intensity. Thin-film amorphous silicon solar cell reaches 20% efficiency in LED illumination. Experimental characteristics are correlated to basic theoretical predictions.
A solar cell in its most fundamental form consists of a semiconductor light absorber with a specific energy band gap plus electron- and hole-selective contacts for charge carrier separation and extraction. Silicon solar cells have the advantage of using a photoactive absorber material that is abundant, stable, nontoxic, and well understood.
Thin, flexible, and efficient silicon solar cells would revolutionize the photovoltaic market and open up new opportunities for PV integration. However, as an indirect semiconductor, silicon exhibits weak absorption for infrared photons and the efficient absorption of the full above bandgap solar spectrum requires careful photon management.
