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. Twenty-six years after crystalline silicon, the thin-film solar cell came into existence, which is second-generation technology. And the last,

AM0 and AM1.5 solar spectrum. Data courtesy of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, CO. The key characteristic of a solar cell is its ability to convert light into electricity. This is known as the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and is the ratio of incident light power to output electrical power.
Silicon cells account for more than 95% of the solar cell market. In commercial applications, their efficiency ranges from 16.5% to 22%, depending on the technology used. In the cold processing method, the silicon is composed of many crystals and is called polycrystalline.
