To Space, Back Again, And Beyond
by Will Beutell, Application Engineer, EKO USA
While the first solar cell created in 1954 used an 'N-Type' (negatively charged) silicon wafer, PV crystalline silicon modules using 'P-Type' (positively charged) cells soon dominated. 'P-Type' cells were almost exclusively researched and used during the space race. With so much money spent on space-related solar technology and one-upmanship, 'P-Type' cells improved quickly. It wasn't long before these advances trickled down to commercial and residential applications. Since then, over many years, 'P-Type' cells have come to lead the market, yielding more power, with lower manufacturing costs, than the original 'N-Type'. However, common 'P-Type' modules generally lack rear-side passivation, limiting their potential performance.
More recently, 'Passively Emitted Rear-side Contact' (PERC) module research, in tandem with progress in 'N-Type' cell development, sparked a surge of interest in bifacial photovoltaics (BPV). In 2016, manufacturing processes for both PERC and 'N-Type' cells finally became economical, opening the doors for BPV technology to be produced and deployed in earnest.
