However, the efficiency of these cells is greatly influenced by their configuration and temperature. This research aims to explore the current–voltage (I−V) characteristics of individual, series, and parallel configurations in crystalline silicon solar cells under varying temperatures.
Silicon solar cells are the most broadly utilized of all solar cell due to their high photo-conversion efficiency even as single junction photovoltaic devices. Besides, the high relative abundance of silicon drives their preference in the PV landscape.
The dominance of silicon in the photovoltaic market can be attributed to several key factors. Firstly, silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, making it readily available for solar cell production . This abundance has been a critical factor in the widespread adoption and scalability of silicon-based solar cells.
Silicon-based solar cells have not only been the cornerstone of the photovoltaic industry for decades but also a symbol of the relentless pursuit of renewable energy sources. The journey began in 1954 with the development of the first practical silicon solar cell at Bell Labs, marking a pivotal moment in the history of solar energy .
As one of the PV technologies with a long standing development history, the record efficiency of silicon solar cells at lab scale already exceeded 24% from about 20 years ago (Zhao et al., 1998).
Silicon has long been the dominant material in photovoltaic technology due to its abundant availability and well-established manufacturing processes. As the second most common element in the Earth’s crust, silicon’s natural abundance and mature processing techniques have made it the go-to choice for solar cell production for decades.
