Crystalline silicon solar cells are today’s main photovoltaic technology, enabling the production of electricity with minimal carbon emissions and at an unprecedented low cost. This Review discusses the recent evolution of this technology, the present status of research and industrial development, and the near-future perspectives.
Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaics has long been considered energy intensive and costly. Over the past decades, spectacular improvements along the manufacturing chain have made c-Si a low-cost source of electricity that can no longer be ignored.
Except for niche applications (which still constitute a lot of opportunities), the status of crystalline silicon shows that a solar technology needs to go over 22% module efficiency at a cost below US$0.2 W −1 within the next 5 years to be competitive on the mass market.
The cost distribution of a crystalline silicon PV module is clearly dominated by material costs, especially by the costs of the silicon wafer. Therefore, besides improved production technology, the efficiency of the cells and modules is the main leverage to bring down the costs even more.
In addition to a fast increase in volume manufacturing, one explanation for the success of crystalline silicon (c-Si) technologies in recent decades can be found in the easy way the manufacturing chain for c-Si from quartz to module can be split into separate steps (Fig. 1a).
monocrystalline silicon. This dominance of crystalline silicon PV has historical reasons as i.e. the Silicon is an abundant material (about 25% of Earth’s crust). Silicon is non-toxic. This is especially important for a green technology. PV modules with crystalline silicon solar cells are long-term stable outdoors (> 20 years).
