It’s the most prevalent solar cell used to build silicon solar panels for residential and commercial rooftop installations. Multiple silicon cells are stacked together to create silicon solar panels.
A silicon cell uses the photovoltaic effect, where a semiconductor absorbs photons. Photons excite electrons present within the semiconductor, causing them to flow, generating electricity. The efficiency of silicon solar panels varies based on the type of cell technology they use.
Silicon has an ideal atomic structure, which makes it a powerful semiconductor and a great choice to manufacture solar cells commercially all across the globe. Moreover, it’s the 2nd most common element in Earth’s crust, ensuring a sustainable supply. Here are the multiple reasons that make silicon so widely used in manufacturing solar cells:
The use of silicon in PV technologies has been already introduced in previous paragraphs as the first generation of solar cells, and it will be discussed in depth in Chapter 2 of this book .
