Popis: In this study, we have analysed the new emerging technologies in the field of photovoltaic (PV) and their impact on the finale cost of the solar cells. We have compared the 2 main groups of PV solar cells which are bulk silicon (Si) and thin-film. The aim of this project is the establishment of the technology roadmap for achieving Si solar cells at a competitive manufacturing cost. This goal can be achieved by using cheaper multicrystalline Si (mc-Si) wafers, thinner Si substrates (below 200 μm), better front and back surface passivation, improved screen printing, and surface texturing.
