6 FAQs about [Solar Power Generation Cell Semiconductor Division]

What are compound semiconductor-based solar cells?

Compound semiconductor-based PV cells have two aspects: group III-V semiconductor-based solar cells and chalcogenide-based solar cells. Group III-V semiconductor-based solar cells use semiconductors made of elements from groups III (gallium, aluminum) and V (arsenic, phosphorus) of the periodic table.

What is a second generation solar cell?

2. Second-generation (II GEN): In this generation the developments of first generation solar PV cell technologies along with the developments of “microcrystalline-silicon (µc-Si) and amorphous-silicon (a-Si) thin films solar cells, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) and cadmium telluride/cadmium sulfide (CdTe/CdS)” solar cells are covered.

Are tandem solar cells a viable alternative to single junction solar cells?

Silicon-based tandem solar cells allow efficiencies of well above 30 % and can therefore overcome the theoretical efficiency limit of single junction silicon solar cells. Our laboratory infrastructure enables the scalable production of perovskite solar cells and their monolithic interconnection in modular architectures.

Which semiconductor material is best for MJ solar cells?

III–V semiconductor materials have many advantages for high-efficiency solar cells in general and the MJ solar cell in particular. III–V semiconductors consist of elements from the group III (Al, Ga, and In) and V (N, P, As, and Sb) columns in the periodic table arranged in a zinc- blend (or wurtzite) crystal structure.

Are Si-based Tandem solar cells the best triple-junction solar cells?

This proves that Si-based tandem cells can get close to the best triple-junction solar cells ever reported in the literature and radiative efficiency limits are even as high as 45.2%, 49.6%, and 52.2% for two-junction, three-junction, and four-junction cells, 80 leaving sufficient room for further development.

Who makes SHJ solar cells?

From the commercial point of view, Sanyo (now Panasonic) pioneered the SHJ solar cell in the early 1990s. The companies that have reached the industrialization of this product type now include Panasonic, Kaneka, and Solar City.
