Crystalline Silicon
• Polycrystalline Si – Made from melting Si into ingots, slicing off
wafers
– Cell efficiencies of 14% - 15%
– Widest use
• Monocrystalline Si – “Grown” crystals, more uniform structure
– Higher cell efficiencies (17% - 22%)
– Higher cost and better space utilization
• Most often manufactured in framed modules
![Page 22: 2012 tus lecture 4](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/558490b0d8b42a05388b46de/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Amorphous Thin-Film Si
• Si solution layered onto various substrates
• Conversion efficiencies of 9% to 12%
• Some framed module products, others bonded to flexible roofing materials
• Very uniform appearance, but less effective space utilization
• Less costly to produce than crystalline modules

SOLAR
El Efecto Fotovoltaico (FV): es la generación de un voltaje en las terminales de un captador solar cuando éste es iluminado. Si a las terminales del captador se le conecta un aparato eléctrico, por ejemplo, un foco, entonces el foco se enciende debido a la corriente eléctrica que circula por él. Esta es la evidencia física del fenómeno fotovoltaico.

doping of semiconductors In order to avoid recombination of photo-induced charges and to „extract“ their energy to an electric-device we need a kind of internal barrier. This can be achieved by doping of semiconductors:
IIIB IVB VB
Si

P
15
„Doping“ means in this case the replacement of original atoms of the semiconductor by different ones (with slightly different electron configuration). Semiconductors like Silicon have four covalent electrons, doping is done e.g. with Boron or Phosphorus:

This is for an “ideal cell”. In reality, there are other effects which can often be accounted for by introduction of a
multiplier “A” (larger than 1) in front of the kT/q term on the right.

Next we calculate the light-generated short circuit current for using the relevant differential equations.
Consider the p-region where the minority carriers are electrons.
Also assume that the minority current is diffusion-dominated.

We now solve this differential equation under various boundary
conditions: 1)uniform generation, semi-infinite
geometry 2) generation decaying exponentially with position, semi-infinite geometry 3)uniform generation, finite thickness 4)generation decaying exponentially
with position, finite thickness
