Question

Assess the pros and cons of using these two materials, crystalline silicon and amorphous silicon, to manufacture photovoltaic cells. Which material would be used if the main criterion was keeping the cost of materials as low as possible? Which material would be used if the main criterion was getting the best performance from the material? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

Polycrystalline cells are less expensive to make than single-crystalline modules but are also slightly less efficient than the single-crystalline (12% -15%). Also, it has been found that amorphous silicon cells dominate in warm, sunny conditions due to their lower power-loss temperature coefficient [1]
