The main types of photovoltaic cells are the following: Monocrystalline silicon solar cells (M-Si) are made of a single silicon crystal with a uniform structure that is highly efficient. Polycrystalline silicon solar cells (P-Si) are made of many silicon crystals and have lower performance.
Photovoltaic solar panels are made up of different types of solar cells, which are the elements that generate electricity from solar energy. The main types of photovoltaic cells are the following: Monocrystalline silicon solar cells (M-Si) are made of a single silicon crystal with a uniform structure that is highly efficient.
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)).
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.
Because of that, we classify the solar cells in this section according to the functionality of the contact, either as electron-selective (Table 3a) or as hole-selective (Table 3b), with a third group dedicated to devices where both selective contacts are made with metal compounds (Table 3c).
One of the types of thin film cells is the amorphous silicon cell. Thin film solar panels with amorphous silicon have a performance of about half that of crystalline cells. For this reason, other types of semiconductors are beginning to be used. What are the types of thin film solar cells?
