6 FAQs about [Solar power generation amorphous silicon]
What are amorphous silicon solar cells?
Used as semiconductor material for a-Si solar cells, or thin-film silicon solar cells, it is deposited in thin films onto a variety of flexible substrates, such as glass, metal and plastic. Amorphous silicon cells generally feature low efficiency.
How efficient are amorphous solar cells?
The overall efficiency of this new type of solar cell was 7.1–7.9% (under simulated solar light), which is comparable to that of amorphous silicon solar cells .
Is hydrogenated amorphous silicon suitable for solar photovoltaic cells?
Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) has a sufficiently low amount of defects to be used within devices such as solar photovoltaic cells, particularly in the protocrystalline growth regime. However, hydrogenation is associated with light-induced degradation of the material, termed the Staebler–Wronski effect.
Do amorphous silicon solar cells need light-trapping?
Amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells have to be kept extremely thin (thickness below 0.2 μm), so as to maximize the internal electric field Eint, and, thus, allow for satisfactory collection of the photo-generated electrons and holes. Therefore, light-trapping is absolutely essential for a-Si:H cells.
Are amorphous silicon solar cells suitable for watches?
Amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells are particularly suited for watches, because of the ease of integration of the very thin a-Si:H cells into watches, their flexibility (which renders them unbreakable) and their excellent low light performance.
When did amorphous silicon solar cells come out?
Amorphous silicon solar cells were first introduced commercially by Sanyo in 1980 for use in solar-powered calculators, and shipments increased rapidly to 3.5 MWp by 1985 (representing about 19% of the total PV market that year). Shipments of a-Si PV modules reached ~40 MWp in 2001, but this represented only about 11% of the total PV market.
