The majority of silicon solar cells are fabricated from silicon wafers, which may be either single-crystalline or multi-crystalline. Single-crystalline wafers typically have better material parameters but are also more expensive. Crystalline silicon has an ordered crystal structure, with each atom ideally lying in a pre-determined position.
However, the crystalline silicon-based solar cells dominate the commercial market. The silicon solar cells are mono or polycrystalline in structure. In polycrystalline silicon cells, various silicon crystals are grouped together during the fabrication process while making a single solar cell. These are more economical and …
