Although the basic functionality of a solar cell is photon to electron-hole (e-h) pair generation through the photovoltaic effect, which is a quantum mechanical phenomenon, the semiconductor material utilised (see Sect. 2.2.1) and the integrated technology are slightly different between devices.
Although the fundamental physics and chemistry of a particular solar cell do not change while scaling up the size of a cell, maintaining the electronic quality over large areas and achieving the high manufacturing yields necessary to be able to build modules are challenging and require the ability to reproducibly fabricate large-area cells.
Solar PV cell materials of different generations have been compared on the basis of their methods of manufacturing, characteristics, band gap and efficiency of photoelectric conversion.
These factors include the (1) availability of raw material with sufficient quantities, (2) low-cost purification and deposition methods, (3) easy process control to obtain a large area product within the range of acceptable performance, and (4) large life expectancy of the finished solar cell .
