Here, we present the progresses in silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cell technology to attain a record efficiency of 26.6% for p-type silicon solar cells. Notably, these cells were manufactured on M6 wafers using a research and development (R&D) production process that aligns with mass production capabilities.
We discuss the major challenges in silicon ingot production for solar applications, particularly optimizing production yield, reducing costs, and improving efficiency to meet the continued high demand for solar cells. We review solar cell technology developments in recent years and the new trends.
In this study, we present a groundbreaking achievement with a record efficiency of 26.6% for p-type silicon solar cells employing SHJ technology, utilizing a commercial-size p-type silicon wafer.
This, in turn, affects the solar cells’ properties, particularly their efficiency and performance. The current laboratory record efficiencies for monocrystalline and multicrystalline silicon solar cells are 26.7% and 24.4%, respectively .
Regarding this latter key factor, one of the focus areas in the past few decades in silicon solar cell research has been improving their efficiency. The theoretical efficiency limit for single homojunction solar cells is around 30% .
