To summarize, the main aspect that makes P-type and N-type solar cells different is the doping used for the bulk region and for the emitter.
N-type and P-type solar cells generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect. This process relies on the semiconductor properties of silicon, which is the main material used in solar cells. In an N-type cell, phosphorus or arsenic atoms are added to the silicon, providing extra electrons. These electrons can move freely through the material.
A P-type solar cell is manufactured by using a positively doped (P-type) bulk c-Si region, with a doping density of 10 16 cm -3 and a thickness of 200μm. The emitter layer for the cell is negatively doped (N-type), featuring a doping density of 10 19 cm -3 and a thickness of 0.5μm.
N-Type technology revolutionizes solar cells with higher efficiency, reduced degradation, and stability, promising superior performance and sustainability in solar energy applications.
N-Type silicon cells offer a significant advantage over their P-Type counterparts due to their resilience against Light Induced Degradation (LID). LID can significantly impair the performance of solar panels by reducing their efficiency as they are exposed to sunlight over time.
N-Type technology shines in this regard, offering remarkable resistance to common degradation mechanisms that affect solar cells. Light Induced Degradation (LID) and Potential Induced Degradation (PID) are two phenomena that can significantly reduce the performance of P-Type solar cells over time.
