2 lecture 2 Lecture 5 Photovoltaics Photovoltaics (PV) = Solar Cells. Photo + Voltaic = Convert Light to Electricity. In the term of Power : from mw to MW MW. Efficiency : From less than 10 10% % to more than 40 40% %. 2
3 History lecture French scientist Edmond Becquerel discovers the photovoltaic effect William Grylls Adams and Richard Evans Day discover that selenium produces electricity when exposed to light Photovoltaic technology is born in the United States On August 7, the Explorer VI satellite is launched The Institute of Energy Conversion is established to perform research and development on thin-film photovoltaic. 3

14 First Generation, Crystalline material Single-crystalline Silicon: Have in the past dominated PV market. Often made using Czochralski process. Best efficiency 25%,Commercial 18% ( NREL). very robust in their stability & reliability. operate well in harsh conditions over several years. have energy payback 1-2 year(s). Expensive. Complex processing & need for large amount of purity silicon. The wafer sizes are limited. 14
15 First Generation, Crystalline material Poly-crystalline Silicone: Made from cast square ingots. Best efficiency 20%,Commercial 14% ( NREL). Higher sales than the mono-crystalline. Easier assembly of poly-crystalline wafer. cheaper cells. Low efficiency. Both : Share 75% of total PV market in 2009 ( GTM Research). Theoretically limitation of efficiency 31% (S.M.Sze) 15
16 Second Generation,Thin Films material Thin film of semiconductor 1-10 microns compared to microns. Made using thin semiconductor films deposited on low cost substrate (glass,metal,plastic,etc). By epitaxial processes such as vapor deposition, sputter processes & electrolytic bath. Very low cost but poor conversion efficiency! 16
17 Second Generation,Thin Films material Cadmium Telluride (CdTe): p-type made from Cadmium and Telluride. n-type from Cadmium Sulfide (CdS). One of the most promising thin film solar cells. Best efficiency 16.7%,Commercial 10.6% ( NREL). Share 10% of total PV & more than 50% of thin-films solar cells market in 2009 ( GTM Research). Easier to deposit More suitable for large scale production. Challenging : Cd is toxic! 17
18 Second Generation,Thin Films material Copper Indium Gallium Di-Selenide (CIGS) : Direct-gap polycrystalline P-type semiconductor. Best efficiency 20.3%,Commercial less than CdTe!! ( NREL). Not reliable in considerable heat & humidity Indium are scarce materials Requires expensive vacuum processing 18
19 Third Generation,Multi-Junctions Cells lecture 2 Stacked p-n junctions on top of each other. Each junction has a different band gap energy so each will respond to a different part of the solar spectrum. Very high efficiencies, but more expensive. Each junction absorbs what it can and lets the remaining light pass onto the next junction. Overall record for electrical efficiency is 42.4%. 19
