Preface: SiliconPV 2023, the 13th International Conference on Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaics

Abstract: The development of PV technology is going fast and much faster than one could dream of a decade ago, and efficiency is one of the key parameters to drive down LCoE. Crystalline silicon PV is often mentioned as the workhorse for large-scale deployment of PV. Actually, to my opinion it is more than a so-called workhorse: it is the core technology, and for at least the coming decade PV technology will be based on crystalline silicon. Currently, large manufacturers are converting their production lines from PERC+ to TOPCon enabling conversion efficiencies for solar cells beyond 26%. It has been demonstrated that these efficiencies are feasible in an industrial environment. More development is needed to obtain these efficiencies in high-volume manufacturing, which is a matter of time. Furthermore, many companies are investing in silicon heterojunction technology, another silicon PV technology with which efficiencies beyond 26% are possible. The current world record silicon solar cell wi.... https://www.tib-op.org/ojs/index.php/siliconpv/article/view/946
