Semiconductor materials ranged from “micromorphous and amorphous silicon” to quaternary or binary semiconductors, such as “gallium arsenide (GaAs), cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS)” are used in thin films based solar PV cells , , .
PV modules are classified on the basis of PV cells semiconductor materials. PV cell materials may differ based on their crystallinity, band gap, absorption, and manufacturing complexity. Each material has a unique strength and characteristic that influence its suitability for the specific applications [31,32].
The different physical principles are associated with the operation of different solar PV cells. However, the all well performing solar PV cells possess similar I-V characteristics and can be compared or characterized with each other on behalf of four factors viz. VOC, ISC, FF and PCE. 5. Comparative analysis of solar PV cell materials
The photovoltaic device is a solar cell often comprising of a layer of silicon designed in a manner to generate electricity with incident photons on it. The electricity generated by a solar cell is influenced by many factors like cell size, cell material, irradiance, environmental conditions, etc.
The polymers/organic solar PV cells can also be categorized into dye-sensitized organic solar PV cells (DSSC), photoelectrochemical solar PV cells, plastic (polymer) and organic photovoltaic devices (OPVD) with the difference in their mechanism of operation , , .
PV cell materials may differ based on their crystallinity, band gap, absorption, and manufacturing complexity. Each material has a unique strength and characteristic that influence its suitability for the specific applications [31,32]. There are three general families of photovoltaic (PV) modules in the market today.
