So far, solar photovoltaic energy conversion has been used as the premium energy source in most of the orbiting satellites. Silicon has been the most used material in most of the successful photovoltaic cells. Two different forms of silicon, pure silicon and amorphous silicon are used to build the cells.
Basic schematic of a silicon solar cell. The top layer is referred to as the emitter and the bulk material is referred to as the base. Bulk crystalline silicon dominates the current photovoltaic market, in part due to the prominence of silicon in the integrated circuit market.
All silicon solar cells require extremely pure silicon. The manufacture of pure silicon is both expensive and energy intensive. The traditional method of production required 90 kWh of electricity for each kilogram of silicon. Newer methods have been able to reduce this to 15 kWh/kg.
Among various PV technologies, crystalline silicon solar cells remain the dominant choice due to their high efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness [5, 6]. As the demand for solar energy continues to grow, optimizing the performance of solar cells becomes crucial to enhance their energy conversion efficiency [7, 8, 9].
Silicon in photovoltaic cell: Among all of the materials listed above, silicon is the most commonly used material in the photovoltaic cells. It is also present in abundance in nature as silicon dioxide in sand and quartz, from which it is extracted by reduction with carbon. In fact, silicon accounts for about 26% of the earth's crust.
Two different forms of silicon, pure silicon and amorphous silicon are used to build the cells. However, the use of the photovoltaic cells has been limited due to high processing cost of high purity single crystal material used and the lack of effective mass production techniques used to produce thin silicon films.
