Crystalline silicon PV technology works by converting sunlight into electrical energy through the use of semiconductor materials. When sunlight hits the surface of the photovoltaic cell, it excites the electrons in the semiconductor material, causing them to flow through the material and generate an electrical current.
During the past few decades, crystalline silicon solar cells are mainly applied on the utilization of solar energy in large scale, which are mainly classified into three types, i.e., mono-crystalline silicon, multi-crystalline silicon and thin film, respectively .
Crystalline silicon solar cells are the most widely used solar cells, which have intrinsic limitation on the theoretical conversion efficiency (33.7% based on Shockley and Queisser's analysis), and the actual conversion efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells is as low as 20%.
A silicon photovoltaic (PV) cell converts the energy of sunlight directly into electricity—a process called the photovoltaic effect—by using a thin layer or wafer of silicon that has been doped to create a PN junction. The depth and distribution of impurity atoms can be controlled very precisely during the doping process.
PV materials and fabrication techniques have made significant headway in the last 15 years and a shift in the PV cell type may be on the horizon, but, for now, crystalline silicon is still the dominant cell type.
