There are some development trends on solar cell modules: Thinning of silicon solar cell modules. The cost of silicon is about 65 % of an entire panel, and the cost of a silicon solar cell pan el is about 70 % of a module . One way to reduce the cost is to reduce the thickness of silicon junction, from 330 μm to 120–140 μm
Photovoltaic Cell Working Principle. A photovoltaic cell works on the same principle as that of the diode, which is to allow the flow of electric current to flow in a single direction and resist the reversal of the same current, i.e, causing only forward bias current.; When light is incident on the surface of a cell, it consists of photons which are absorbed by the …
The Al-alloyed back-surface field (Al-BSF) solar cell, 11 depicted in Figure 1 B, was the mainstream cell technology in production for many years until PV manufacturers switched to the passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) technology for realizing higher efficiency silicon modules. The PERC device architecture, 12 also shown in Figure 1 B, was developed …
Filter efficiency was 62% for a thin-film solar cell (GaAs) and 56% for a crystalline silicon solar cell (c-Si).

A schematic diagram of the system is shown in Fig. 18.23.
