There are four main categories since the last few decades when solar cell was invented and these categories are known as generations of PV cell technologies : 1. First-generation (I GEN): Monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon both along with the gallium arsenide i.e. GaAs are the PV cell technologies included in this category.
The outputs of the simulated experiment were used to produce solar cell recipes and efficiencies were determined using PC1D, a finite-element numerical solver used for modelling solar cells . Systematically varying parameters in the recipe allowed the authors to generate a dataset containing 400,000 cells.
