Abdul Ghani Olabi, in Journal of Cleaner Production, 2021. 2.1 Crystalline silicon solar cells (first generation). At the heart of PV systems, a solar cell is a key component for bringing down area- or scale-related costs and increasing the overall performance.
For flexible crystalline silicon solar cells, smaller pyramids can make the silicon wafers more flexible, and a more uniform distribution of pyramid size is a better light trapping structure that can achieve higher power conversion efficiency. So, obtaining small and uniform pyramids is important for flexible and efficient silicon solar cells.

Black silicon solar cells with inverted pyramid structure manufactured in bulk were accessed, which the conversion efficiency was up to 20.19%. Meanwhile, the formation mechanism of inverted pyramid structure was studied.
And the inverted pyramid sizes were controlled by changing the parameters in both MACE and alkaline anisotropic texturing. Regarding passivation efficiency, the textured sc-Si with normal reflectivity of 9.2% and inverted pyramid size of 1 μm was used to fabricate solar cells.
With proper dimension of inverted pyramid structure, high efficiency solar cell was presented. It is expected that Si surfaces with inverted pyramids had a potential for mass production with all chemical processes. 2. Experimental section
Despite the fact, there is a wide gap between the conversion efficiencies of mc-Si solar cell and the single crystalline silicon (sc-Si) solar cell. Texturization technology might be a crucial factor to narrow the gap in conversion efficiency.
