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.
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.
Today's typical wholesale price for mainstream crystalline silicon modules is in the range US$0.17–0.25 W −1 (ref. 10), depending on the type and efficiency, which converts to a staggering low US$35–50 m −2. Data until 2021 adapted with permission from ref. 10, Fraunhofer ISE.
Silicon-based solar cells can either be monocrystalline or multicrystalline, depending on the presence of one or multiple grains in the microstructure. This, in turn, affects the solar cells' properties, particularly their efficiency and performance.
To conclude, we discuss what it will take for other PV technologies to compete with silicon on the mass market. 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.
Approximately 95% of the total market share of solar cells comes from crystalline silicon materials . The reasons for silicon's popularity within the PV market are that silicon is available and abundant, and thus relatively cheap.
