It can easily compensate the energy drawn from the non-renewable sources of energy such as fossil fuels and petroleum deposits inside the earth. The fabrication of solar cells has passed through a large number of improvement steps from one generation to another.
In conclusion, solar cell efficiency is paramount for evaluating their viability as a renewable energy source. It directly influences sunlight-to-electricity conversion. First generation solar cells such as polycrystalline and monocrystalline solar cells offer advantages such as high efficiency and environmental safety.
Solar energy is the most affordable and abundant of all long-term natural resources to date . Solar PV technology is one of the optimum ways to utilize solar power to generate electricity by converting the sunlight to direct current in solar cells or PV cells [2, 3].
The most effective way to improve solar cells’ efficiency is to reduce area-related costs. These include module materials and system costs, such as the cell fabrication semiconductor, cell interconnection, packaging material, transport, support structures, cabling, and module mounting .
The ultra-light, highly efficient solar cell was developed at NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) and is being commercialized by Emcore Corp. of Albuquerque, N.M. in partnership with the Air Force Research Laboratories Space Vehicles Directorate at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque.
The working principle of solar cells is based on the photovoltaic effect. The PV effect can be divided into three essential procedures [18, 19, 20]. Absorption of photons in a p-n junction electronic semiconductor to generate the charge carriers (electron-hole pairs).
