Modernization of Silicon Photovoltaic Technologies
Keywords:
silicon, photovoltaic panel, solar energy, efficiency, passivation, modernizationAbstract
The article discusses the current state, advantages, limitations and development directions of silicon-based photovoltaic technologies. Silicon is widely used due to its electrical conductivity and stability, but the efficiency of modern panels is still below theoretical limits. Monocrystalline, polycrystalline and amorphous silicon panels were compared based on technical and economic indicators. To improve the efficiency of photovoltaic systems, advanced technologies such as micro- and nanostructures, passivation, tandem structures, "black silicon" and antireflective coatings were analyzed. The article also highlights the economic and environmental consequences of the modernization processes
