The development of silicon-based photovoltaic (PV) cells began with the discovery of the photovoltaic effect by Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel in 1839.
The reasons for silicon’s popularity within the PV market are that silicon is available and abundant, and thus relatively cheap. Silicon-based solar cells can either be monocrystalline or multicrystalline, depending on the presence of one or multiple grains in the microstructure.
Despite SHJ solar cells (also traditionally based on n-type silicon) 81 being in the market since 1997, 82 it was actually the introduction of the TOPCon design that boosted n-type silicon adoption. The introduction of TOPCon technologies in the solar cell market led to an increase in the use of n-type silicon, approaching 17% in 2022.
