The photovoltaic sector is now led by silicon solar cells because of their well-established technology and relatively high efficiency. Currently, industrially made silicon solar modules have an efficiency between 16% and 22% (Anon (2023b)).
Solar-cell efficiency is the portion of energy in the form of sunlight that can be converted via photovoltaics into electricity by the solar cell. The efficiency of the solar cells used in a photovoltaic system, in combination with latitude and climate, determines the annual energy output of the system.
Solar cells that combine traditional silicon with cutting-edge perovskites could push the efficiency of solar panels to new heights. Beyond Silicon, Caelux, First Solar, Hanwha Q Cells, Oxford PV, Swift Solar, Tandem PV 3 to 5 years In November 2023, a buzzy solar technology broke yet another world record for efficiency.
The highest efficiency of a-Si cell is found as 12.69%, which is provided in Table 2. The usual design of an a-Si:H solar cell is shown in Fig. 5d.
Literature indicates that at a cell temperature of 36°C, efficiency somewhat increases by up to 12%. However, efficiency starts to decrease above this temperature, as Fig. 13a illustrates. There are many efficient methods for controlling the operating temperature of solar cells which include both active and passive approaches.
At present, a cell with an area of 79 cm 2 has already demonstrated a PCE of 26.7%, and a cell with an area of 180 cm 2 (which would be a truly amazing size for other PV technologies) reached a PCE of 26.6%. These cell results lead us to anticipate that the module efficiency will also increase in the near future.
