By the late 20th century, silicon solar cells had firmly established themselves as the standard in the photovoltaic industry, with efficiencies surpassing 15% . In the 21st century, the focus shifted towards further improving the efficiency and reducing the cost of silicon solar cells.
The dominance of silicon in the photovoltaic market can be attributed to several key factors. Firstly, silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, making it readily available for solar cell production . This abundance has been a critical factor in the widespread adoption and scalability of silicon-based solar cells.
The main motivation of this research work is to improve the efficiency of a single crystalline silicon solar cell. This has been achieved by reducing surface reflection as well as increasing the effective surface area of the solar cell by making surface modifications using Reactive Ion Etching (RIE).
Silicon-based solar cells have not only been the cornerstone of the photovoltaic industry for decades but also a symbol of the relentless pursuit of renewable energy sources. The journey began in 1954 with the development of the first practical silicon solar cell at Bell Labs, marking a pivotal moment in the history of solar energy .
