Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Silicon solar cells are a mainstay of commercialized photovoltaics, and further improving the power conversion efficiency of large-area and flexible cells remains an important research objective1,2.
The obtained modelling results show that quite accurate predictions of the energy that can be harvested by the commercially available, crystalline silicon solar cells can be made using both the one-diode and the two-diode models.
Furthermore, crystalline silicon solar cells using different grades of purity in silicon have been excluded in this study. With less pure silicon being a promising route to cut costs of crystalline silicon solar cells, such cells may also be an interesting option regarding PIPV, particularly from an economical perspective.
According to this modern version of the SQ limit, the maximum theoretical efficiency of solar cells made of crystalline (amorphous) Si is η ∼ 33 % (∼28 %) that, nowadays, corresponds to the most accepted value.
