Solar Photovoltaic Cell Material Classification

According to the production materials of solar photovoltaic cells, they can be divided into silicon-based semiconductor cells, CdTe thin film cells, CIGS thin film cells, dye-sensitized thin film cells, organic material cells and so on. Among them, silicon-based semiconductor cells are divided into monocrystalline silicon cells, polycrystalline silicon cells and amorphous silicon cells. The production cost, photoelectric conversion efficiency, and installation process of various batteries have their own advantages and disadvantages, so the use of the occasion is also different.

Polysilicon cells are widely used because they are cheaper than monocrystalline silicon cells and perform better than amorphous silicon and cadmium telluride cells. Thin-film solar photovoltaic cells have also gained market share in recent years due to their relatively light weight and simple installation process.
