The most commonly known solar cell is configured as a large-area p–n junction made from silicon. As a simplification, one can imagine bringing a layer of n-type silicon into direct contact with a layer of p-type silicon. n-type doping produces mobile electrons (leaving behind positively charged donors) while p-type doping produces mobile holes (and negatively charged acceptors).

The notable optical and electrical features of Si nanowires (SiNWs) outperform conventional bulk silicon, including a large surface area, antireflective properties, and shorter carrier transportation paths for photovoltaics. However, the key challenge lies in the fabrication and doping of SiNWs for p–n junction. The cost-effective metal-assisted chemical etching

In crystalline silicon solar cells, the front metal electrode seriously affects the series resistance, shadowing loss, fill factor and short-circuit current. The metal-silicon interface contributes to the surface recombination velocity (S eff ) of minority carriers, which limits the open-circuit voltage (V oc ) and achievable efficiency [ [1
Crystalline silicon solar cells are the most widely used solar cells, hydrogen dilution, electrode gap, silicon wafer orientation, and post-deposition thermal annealing.

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their outer energy level than does silicon.

In • a bulk of the silicon solar cell, three fundamental recombination mechanisms are produced. Auger recombination. We have Auger recombination when the energy of the electron which falls in the valence band is transferred as kinetic energy to: a hole on a deep level of the valence band.
However, existing industrialized silicon solar cells exhibit simple structures. The single crystalline silicon with the Czochralski method or the polycrystalline silicon with the casting method has been adopted on a large scale. Generally, these silicon materials are boron diffusion doped, with a resistivity of 0.5–0.6 Ω cm.
These higher energy photons will be absorbed by a silicon solar cell, but the difference in energy between these photons and the silicon band gap is converted into heat (via lattice vibrations — called phonons) rather than into usable electrical energy. The most commonly known solar cell is configured as a large-area p–n junction made from silicon.
For most crystalline silicon solar cells the change in VOC with temperature is about −0.50%/°C, though the rate for the highest-efficiency crystalline silicon cells is around −0.35%/°C. By way of comparison, the rate for amorphous silicon solar cells is −0.20 to −0.30%/°C, depending on how the cell is made.
