Crystalline silicon solar cells have attracted great attention for their various advantages, such as the availability of raw materials, high-efficiency potential, and well-established processing sequence. Tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar cells are widely regarded as one of the most prospective candidates for the next generation of high-performance solar cells because an efficiency of 26% has been achieved in small-area solar cells. Compared to n-type TOPCon solar cells, the photo conversion efficiency (PCE) of p-type TOPCon is slightly higher. The highest PCEs of p-type TOPCon and n-type TOPCon solar cells are 26.0% and 25.8%, respectively. Despite the highest efficiency in small-area cells, limited progress has been achieved in p-type TOPCon solar cells for large are due to their lower carrier lifetime and inferior surface passivation with the boron-doped c-Si wafer. Nevertheless, it is of great importance to promoting the p-type TOPCon technology due to its lower price and well-established manufacturing procedures with slight modifications in the PERC solar cells production lines. The progress in different approaches to increase the efficiencies of p-type TOPCon solar cells has been reported in this review article and is expected to set valuable strategies to promote the passivation technology of p-type TOPCon, which could further increase the efficiency of TOPCon solar cells.

In this paper, silicon solar cells are analyzed regarding power conversion efficiency by changed capacitance in the depletion region. For the capacitance control in the depletion region of silicon solar cell was applied for 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 and 320 Hz frequency band character and alternating current(AC) voltage with square wave of 0.2~1.4 V. Academically, symmetry formation of positive and negative change of the p-n junction is similar to the physical effect of capacitance. According to the experiment result, because input of square wave with alternating current(AC) voltage could be observed to changed capacitance effect by indirectly method through non-linear power conversion (Voltage-Current) output. In addition, when input alternating current(AC) voltage in the silicon solar cell, changed capacitance of depletion region with the forward bias condition and reverse bias condition gave a direct effect to the charge mobility.

Since the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) would be started in 2012, the use of renewable energy should be 11% of total energy use including bio-fuel in 2030. The economic efficiency for renewable energy in B power plant was considered with the bio-diesel, wind power and solar power. The Net Present Value (NPV) and Benefit/Cost Ratio(BC) were used for the economic efficiency with the cost and benefit analysis. In case of bio-diesel, the cost resulted from the fuel conversion and the benefit would be created with trade and environmental improvement. With regard to wind power and solar power, the construction cost would be required and benefit factors would be same as the bio-diesel. The wind power was the best of economic efficiency of renewable energy as the results of NPV and BC ratio. Whereas, the market of wind power was very popular and the techniques of wind power has been developing rapidly.

Indium zinc oxide($In_2O_3-ZnO$, IZO) 박막이 poly(ethylene terephthalate) 플렉시블 기판위에 rf 마그네트론 스퍼터링을 이용하여 $Ar/O_2$ 혼합 가스하에서 rf power, 공정압력 및 IZO 두께를 변화하여 증착되었다. 공정압력이 증가됨에 따라서 증착속도는 약간씩 증가되었고 투과도에는 거의 변화가 없었으나 저항도는 증가되었다. rf power의 증가에 대하여는 증착속도가 크게 증가하였고 투과도는 미소한 변화를 보였으며 저항도는 최저점을 보인 후에 증가하였다. 가장 낮은 저항을 보인 1 mTorr와 90 W의 공정조건에서 IZO 박막의 두께변화를 실시하여 최적의 두께를 찾고자 하였다. $1,500{\AA}$ 두께의 IZO 박막이 가장 낮은 저항도를 나타냈고 염료의 최대흡수 파장영역 주변에서 높은 투과도를 보였다. 두께가 다른 투명전극들을 이용하여 제조된 태양전지의 에너지 변환효율을 측정한 결과, $1,500{\AA}$ 두께의 IZO 전극을 사용한 셀에서 2.88%의 최대 변환효율을 보였다.

Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO)/Selenium heterojunction solar cells which fabricated by vacuum deposition technique and annealing process has been investigated. Prior to the Selenium deposition, a thin tellurium layer (about $10{\AA}$) was deposited onto the ITO layers to provide a sufficient mechanical bond between the Oxide and Selenium layers. The amorphous Selenium layer was deposited onto the Te-ITO layers, and then the crystallization of the amorphous Selenium was carried out using a hot plate at about $180^{\circ}C$ for 4 min. Efficient Selenium solar cells with conversion efficiency as high as 4.52% under AM1 condition has been fabricated in polycrystalline Selenium layer ($6{\mu}m$). The optimum data in manufacturing Se solar cell was listed in table.

Multilayered films of ITO (In₂O₃:SnO₂ = 9:1)/SiO₂ were deposited on soda-lime glass by RF/DC magnetron sputtering at 500℃ to improve the energy conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The light absorption of the dye was improved by decrease in light reflectance from the surface of the DSSCs by using an ITO film. In order to estimate the optical characteristics and compare them with experimental results, a simulation program named EMP (essential macleod program) was used. EMP results revealed that the multilayered thin films showed high transmittance (approximate average transmittance of 79%) by adjusting the SiO₂ layer thickness. XRD results revealed that the ITO and TiO₂ films exhibited a crystalline phase with (400) and (101) preferred orientations at 2 θ = 26.24° and 35.18°, respectively. The photocurrent-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the DSSCs were measured under AM 1.5 and 100 mW/cm² (1 sun) by using a solar simulator. The DSSC fabricated on the ITO film with a 0.1-nm-thick SiO₂ film showed a Voc of 0.697 V, J_sc of 10.596 mA/cm² , FF of 66.423, and calculated power conversion efficiency (η_AM1.5) of 5.259%, which was the maximum value observed in this study.

Photovoltaic system has very low energy conversion efficiency and the output characteristics of solar cell is varied by the Insolation quantity and the temperature. In order to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic system, the energy which has got from solar cell must be use maximum. In this paper, it was stimultaneous executed both MPPT control and instrumentation in order that the operating point of solar cell is located maximum power point, using the PWM inverter and micro-computer, which is for the purpose of acquiring maximum power from the solar cell. As a result, maximum power point tracking had carried out and the efficiency of photovoltaic system improved, even if insolation quantity and the temperature are varied.
