Abstract:
The analysis of technological capabilities ensuring the reduction in the cost of solar cell parameters is carried out.
The possibility and economic expediency of using as a substrate solar cells of technical silicon for a mass transformation of solar radiation into electricity is justified. The second contact material must be a nanoscale cluster from the family of lead chalcogenides (PbS, PbTl and PbSe).
It is shown that the cheapening, stable and long-lasting functioning of solar panels is achieved when they consist of solar cells with fundamentally different and numerous contact structures (they must be created using a new technology with a combination of contacting semiconductors that is unconventional for solar energy—one of them is nano-different–macro material).
