Abstract: Many manufacturers choose the passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) approach in order to surpass the 20% cell efficiency level in mass production. In this paper, we study the efficiency potential of the PERC approach under realistic assumptions for incremental improvements of existing technologies by device simulations.
The highest cell efficiencies of sc-Si and mc-Si PV technologies are 26.1% and 23.3%, respectively. For second-generation technology as seen in Fig. 6 b, the maximum and minimum cell efficiencies are observed for GaAs and a-Si are 29.1% and 14%, respectively.
There are currently PV modules in development expecting maximum efficiency of nearly 50%, which may hit the market sometime in the near future as an emerging PV technology. Table 1 demonstrates the chronological development of PV materials, efficiency, and current challenges.

Solar Cell Efficiency Explained. Cell efficiency is determined by the cell structure and type of substrate used, which is generally either P-type or N-type silicon, with N-type cells being the most efficient. Cell efficiency is calculated by what is known as the fill factor (FF), which is the maximum conversion efficiency of a PV cell at the optimum operating voltage and …
