  2. Solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell

    Reported timeline of research solar cell energy conversion efficiencies (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) In 2014, three companies broke the record of 25.6% for a silicon solar cell. Panasonic's was the most efficient. The company moved the front contacts to the rear of the panel, eliminating shaded areas.

  3. Thin-film solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-film_solar_cell

    In a typical solar cell, the photovoltaic effect is used to generate electricity from sunlight. The light-absorbing or "active layer" of the solar cell is typically a semiconducting material, meaning that there is a gap in its energy spectrum between the valence band of localized electrons around host ions and the conduction band of higher-energy electrons which are free to move throughout the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_photovoltaics_companies

    Monocrystalline solar cell This is a list of notable photovoltaics (PV) companies. Grid-connected solar photovoltaics (PV) is the fastest growing energy technology in the world, growing from a cumulative installed capacity of 7.7 GW in 2007, to 320 GW in 2016. In 2016, 93% of the global PV cell manufacturing capacity utilizes crystalline silicon (cSi) technology, representing a commanding lead ...

  5. Third-generation photovoltaic cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-generation...

    Any photon with more energy than the bandgap can cause photoexcitation, but any energy above the bandgap energy is lost. Consider the solar spectrum; only a small portion of the light reaching the ground is blue, but those photons have three times the energy of red light. Silicon's bandgap is 1.1 eV, about that of red light, so in this case ...

  6. Polycrystalline silicon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycrystalline_silicon

    The use of polycrystalline silicon in the production of solar cells requires less material and therefore provides higher profits and increased manufacturing throughput. Polycrystalline silicon does not need to be deposited on a silicon wafer to form a solar cell, rather it can be deposited on other, cheaper materials, thus reducing the cost.

  7. Silicon Module Super League - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Module_Super_League

    The Silicon Module Super League (SMSL) later the Solar Module Super League [1] is a group of major crystalline silicon (c-Si) module suppliers in the solar PV industry. The 'big six' industry group members were Canadian Solar , Hanwha Q CELLS , JA Solar , Jinko Solar , and Trina Solar .
