During the past few decades, crystalline silicon solar cells are mainly applied on the utilization of solar energy in large scale, which are mainly classified into three types, i.e., mono-crystalline silicon, multi-crystalline silicon and thin film, respectively .
Monocrystalline silicon solar cells (M-Si) are made of a single silicon crystal with a uniform structure that is highly efficient. Polycrystalline silicon solar cells (P-Si) are made of many silicon crystals and have lower performance. Thin-film cells are obtained by depositing several layers of PV material on a base.
In solar cell fabrication, crystalline silicon is either referred to as the multicrystalline silicon (multi-Si) or monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si) [70–72]. The multi-Si is further categorized as the polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) or the semi-crystalline silicon, consisting of small and multiple crystallites.
The first generation of the solar cells, also called the crystalline silicon generation, reported by the International Renewable Energy Agency or IRENA has reached market maturity years ago . It consists of single-crystalline, also called mono, as well as multicrystalline, also called poly, silicon solar cells.
As researchers keep developing photovoltaic cells, the world will have newer and better solar cells. Most solar cells can be divided into three different types: crystalline silicon solar cells, thin-film solar cells, and third-generation solar cells. The crystalline silicon solar cell is first-generation technology and entered the world in 1954.
These solar cells control more than 80% of the photovoltaic market as of 2016. And the reason is the high efficiency of c-Si solar cells. There are two types of crystalline silicon: monocrystalline silicon (mono c-Si) and polycrystalline silicon (poly c-Si). Monocrystalline silicon is single crystal silicon.
