Although crystalline PV cells dominate the market, cells can also be made from thin films—making them much more flexible and durable. One type of thin film PV cell is amorphous silicon (a-Si) which is produced by depositing thin layers of silicon on to a glass substrate. The result is a very thin and flexible cell which uses less than 1% of the silicon needed for a crystalline cell.

The long haul through trial and error in the solar industry has reached a place where it is clear that N-Type solar cells are the more efficient path forward. And not only has Trina already developed a top-of-the-line N-Type solar cell, but it has also proven that this is the path forward by setting a new world record for efficiency.
In recent years, there has been many developments in n-type c-Si solar cells basically due to the advantages of n-type c-Si wafers over p-type wafers. However, there are some limitations in making n-type solar cells considering the technologies involved to fabricate p-type cells.
N-type and P-type solar cells generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect. This process relies on the semiconductor properties of silicon, which is the main material used in solar cells. In an N-type cell, phosphorus or arsenic atoms are added to the silicon, providing extra electrons. These electrons can move freely through the material.
