Manufacturing of single connection solar cells is predominant compared to other solar cells; it is working based on silicon wafers which vary from single- to multi-crystalline silicon. This type of solar cells is called first-generation solar PV cells. Single crystal wafer silicon cell is majorly fabricated based on onscreen printing technology. Integrated circuit industry involves processing and mass production of PV cells. Different types of first-generation photovoltaic solar cells, manufacturers, power ranges, and efficiencies are listed Table 2.1.
