Fundamental R&D in c-Si: Enabling Progress in Solar Electric Technology

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

With increasing acceptance of photovoltaic (solar electric) energy as a solution to many energy needs of the world, PV production has grown at about 20%/year in recent years. Worldwide shipments of PV modules reached about 400 megawatts (MW) in 2001. Because Si continues to be the dominant technology, solar cell manufacturing using c-Si (single or multicrystalline) has reached new pinnacles.Shipments of solar electric power products based on c-Si materials reached about 320 MW in 2001, representing more than 80% of total solar cell shipments. Because of the increasing demands of PV energy use, much of the current activity in the PV industry is heavily geared for increasing manufacturing capabilities. Nearly all major manufacturers are installing new production lines.
