For most crystalline silicon solar cells the change in V OC with temperature is about −0.50%/°C, though the rate for the highest-efficiency crystalline silicon cells is around −0.35%/°C. By way of comparison, the rate for amorphous silicon solar cells is −0.20 to −0.30%/°C, depending on how the cell is made.
English: An energy band diagram showing energy levels of layers in a typical SHJ (silicon heterojunction) solar cell. The diagram illustrates the contact selectivity of the doped amorphous layers, the difference in band gaps between layers (ie. the heterojunction), quantum tunneling (double arrows) and the degenerate semiconducting ITO.

When constructing bulk-heterojunction solar cells, p-type nickel(II) oxide is an effective anode layer. Its function as a wide band-gap semiconductor helps planarize the anode surface, and helps maximum photon flux to reach the active layer. In this case, NiO thickness was also measured, and increasing the thickness decreases cell efficiency.
A cross-sectional schematic of the layers of a bifacial silicon heterojunction solar cell An energy band diagram showing energy levels of layers in a typical SHJ solar cell A "front-junction" heterojunction solar cell is composed of a p–i–n–i–n -doped stack of silicon layers; the middle being an n -type crystalline silicon wafer and the ...
To understand how band structure changes relative to the Fermi level in real space, a band structure plot is often first simplified in the form of a band diagram. In a band diagram the vertical axis is energy while the horizontal axis represents real space. Horizontal lines represent energy levels, while blocks represent energy bands.
Solar cells: Heterojunctions are formed through the interface of a crystalline silicon substrate (band gap 1.1 eV) and amorphous silicon thin film (band gap 1.7 eV) in some solar cell architectures. [3] The heterojunction is used to separate charge carriers in a similar way to a p–n junction.
Band diagram for Schottky barrier at equilibrium Band diagram for semiconductor heterojunction at equilibrium. In solid-state physics of semiconductors, a band diagram is a diagram plotting various key electron energy levels (Fermi level and nearby energy band edges) as a function of some spatial dimension, which is often denoted x.
