Are solar cells made of silicon wafers

Silicon solar cells: materials, technologies, architectures

The light absorber in c-Si solar cells is a thin slice of silicon in crystalline form (silicon wafer). Silicon has an energy band gap of 1.12 eV, a value that is well matched to the solar spectrum, close to the optimum value for solar-to-electric energy conversion using a single light absorber.

6 · SHJ solar cells typically consist of crystalline silicon wafers, intrinsic amorphous silicon, n-type and p-type a-Si:H or nc-Si:H films, as well as electrode comprising TCO and metal grids (Fig. S5). Among them, a-Si:H and nc-Si:H films primarily deposited by PECVD, and the crystallinity of these films can be controlled by adjusting deposition parameters.
