Currently, the crystalline silicon (c-Si)-based solar cells are still dominating the global solar PV market because of their abundance, stability, and non-toxicity. 1, 2 However, the conversion efficiency of PV cells is constrained by the spectral mismatch losses, non-radiative recombination and strong thermalisation of charge carriers.
Between monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar cell, there is an established statement that the efficiency and the performance rate of monocrystalline were better than the polycrystalline . At 1000 w/m 2 solar radiation , the efficiency of monocrystalline and polycrystalline was 15.27 and 13.53%, respectively.
The current efficiencies associated with the technology range from 7 to 16%; however, laboratory tests have achieved up to 20%, which is close to the crystalline silicon–based PV solar cell [54, 63]. One of the advantages of this technology is a low static load characteristic due to the lightweight of cells.
Conclusions The present PV market is growing at the very high rate of 35–40% per year, and world PV production was 10.66 GW in 2009. More than 80% of the world PV industry is based on c-Si and pc-Si wafer technologies. Single-junction c-Si and GaAs solar cells are approaching their upper limits in terms of the theoretical maximum efficiency.
The thin-film PV solar cell technologies are attractive due to the low cost of fabrication. However, this is ousted by their low levels of efficiency. Compared to the first generation, the second-generation PV solar cells are less mature and have a small market share.

Dominating the solar market, c-Si solar cells are valued for their low cost, widespread availability, mature industrial production processes, non-toxic nature, and stable performance over long periods, often exceeding two decades. [3] .
The production of mc‐Si solar cells is easy and economical compared with monocrystalline Si cells. However, in polycrystalline solar cells, grain boundaries act as the electron/hole trapping centers, and the photogenerated minority charge carriers can be trapped at the grain boundaries, resulting in deteriorated cell performance. The grain ...
