Types of photovoltaic cells

There are three types of PV cell technologies that dominate the world market: monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and thin film.

Solar Cells and Modules

Modules consisting of monocrystalline silicon PV cells reach commercial efficiencies between 15 and 18 %. So far, they are the most efficient modules and, with about 85% in 2010, have the
