Future high efficiency silicon solar cells are expected to be based on n-type monocrystalline wafers. Cell and module photovoltaic conversion efficiency increases are required to contribute to lower cost per watt peak and to reduce balance of systems cost.
n-type mono-crystalline material to reach ~10% of the total Si solar module market by the year 2015, and over 30% by 2023 . This roadmap predicts a substantial shift from p-type to n-type mono-Si within the mono-Si material market . Past barriers to adoption of
Previous work has shown that 800 kg of n-type mono-crystalline ingot produced by CCz technology from a single crucible can be used to fabricate nPERT and n-Pasha solar cells with uniform performance despite the change of the minority carrier lifetime (MCLT) from the first to the last ingot.
n-type silicon cells by a broad base of cell and module suppliers include the higher cost to manufacture a p-type emitter junction and the higher cost of the n-type mono silicon crystal. Technologies to reduce the cost of manufacturing the p-type emitter by diffusion or implantation of boron are being developed in the industry .
Past barriers to adoption of n-type silicon cells by a broad base of cell and module suppliers include the higher cost to manufacture a p-type emitter junction and the higher cost of the n-type mono silicon crystal.
The efficient use of the ingot material and high productivity of the continuous Czochralski (CCz) technology can help reduce the cost of n-type wafers which is one of the obstacles to the adoption of high performance n-type solar cells.

Types of photovoltaic solar panels and their characteristics
Photovoltaic solar panels are devices specifically designed for the generation of clean energy from sunlight.. In general, photovoltaic panels are classified into three main categories: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and thin-film panels. Each of them has particularities that make them more or less suitable depending on the environment and the objective of the …

Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells
N-type monocrystalline silicon solar cells with efficiencies at or above 25% have been reported by SunPower [6], [7] and Panasonic [8]. A major advantage of n-type silicon is that it does not suffer from the well-known boron–oxygen-related defect, as opposed to widely used boron doped Czochralski-grown (Cz) silicon [9], [10] .

Solar Cell Efficiency: N-type v. P-type
Monocrystalline p-type solar modules use cells/wafers that are Czochralski-grown (and block cast p-type polycrystalline cells/wafers to a lesser extent) suffer from light induced degradation (LID). LID occurs when oxygen impurities in the silicon wafer react with the doped boron in the first few hours/weeks of illumination of the cell. This effect can reduce cell efficiencies from 2-4% right ...
