Photovoltaic Specialists Conference, 1972
The maximum efficiency of silicon solar cells is calculated and yields a value near 18$. Additionally, the performance of these high efficiency cells in a synchronous orbit radiation field is calculated and indicates that these cells would be superior to present silicon cells at all times. The performance of conventional cells is analyzed and several areas in-which performance gains may be achieved are discussed.-These, areas _include improvements in diffused region profile, in reduction of excess"forward currents in cells made from low resistivity material and in the theory for describing complex solar cell structures,
18.1% Efficiency for a Large Area, Multi-Crystalline Silicon Solar Cell
2006 IEEE 4th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conference, 2006
Multi-crystalline silicon has dominated the photovoltaic market in recent years and with advances in isotexturing and the production of increasingly thinner and larger wafers it is set to play a significant role in the future. As with other cell types, laboratory efficiencies remain higher than those achieved in production. Previous large area efficiency records on multi-crystalline silicon have included a 17.6% efficient cell produced at the University of Konstanz and a 17.7% efficient cell produced by Kyocera. The 17.6% cell was made using the buried contact technique. Again using this technique and multicrystalline silicon, we have made an 18.1% efficient cell, independently confirmed by the calibration laboratories at Fraunhofer ISE. The area of the cell is 137.7 cm 2 ; Voc is 636 mV and Jsc is 36.9 mA/cm 2 . To the best of our knowledge, this is a new world record.
