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 .
Thus far, the solar photovoltaic industry basically complies with silicon materials, and solar photovoltaic devices worldwide are primarily constituted by single crystalline silicon. To be specific, single crystalline silicon solar cells were initially studied and adopted, and it remains a critical material for solar cells.
Crystalline silicon cell modules have a long history of proven field operation and offer high efficiencies while presenting fewer resource issues than many competing technologies. As such, crystalline silicon PV cells are expected to be strongly represented in the future solar cell market.
The value chain for crystalline silicon solar cells and modules is longer than that for thin-film solar cells.
There is also an assortment of emerging PV cell technologies which include Perovskite cells, organic solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells and quantum dots. The first commercially available solar cells were made from monocrystalline silicon, which is an extremely pure form of silicon.
The first generation of the solar cells, also called the crystalline silicon generation, reported by the International Renewable Energy Agency or IRENA has reached market maturity years ago . It consists of single-crystalline, also called mono, as well as multicrystalline, also called poly, silicon solar cells.
