What is the purpose of the book 'Wafer-based silicon solar cells'?

The volume includes the chapters that present new results of research aimed to improve efficiency, to reduce consumption of materials and to lower cost of wafer-based silicon solar cells as well as new methods of research and testing of the devices.

Can c-Si wafers be used for solar cells?

Solar cell (module) characterization Next, we fabricated the foldable c-Si wafers into solar cells. The most widely used industrial silicon solar cells include passivated emitter and rear cells18, tunnelling oxide passivated contact19solar cells and amorphous–crystalline silicon heterojunction20(SHJ) solar cells.

How thick is a silicon solar cell?

However, silicon's abundance, and its domination of the semiconductor manufacturing industry has made it difficult for other materials to compete. An optimum silicon solar cell with light trapping and very good surface passivation is about 100 µm thick.

Who wrote solar cells - silicon wafer-based technologies?

What changes have been made to silicon PV components?

In this Review, we survey the key changes related to materials and industrial processing of silicon PV components. At the wafer level, a strong reduction in polysilicon cost and the general implementation of diamond wire sawing has reduced the cost of monocrystalline wafers.

What is the efficiency of silicon heterojunction solar cells?
