Monocrystalline solar cells are solar cells made from monocrystalline silicon, single-crystal silicon. Monocrystalline silicon is a single-piece crystal of high purity silicon. It gives some exceptional properties to the solar cells compared to its rival polycrystalline silicon.
These types of solar cells are further divided into two categories: (1) polycrystalline solar cells and (2) single crystal solar cells. The performance and efficiency of both these solar cells is almost similar. The silicon based crystalline solar cells have relative 4.2.9.2
Expanding the near-infrared (NIR) response of perovskite materials to approach the ideal bandgap range (1.1–1.4 eV) for single-junction solar cells is an attractive step to unleash the full potential of perovskite solar cells (PSCs).
