Conventional silicon photovoltaic (PV) cells have long been the standard in the solar industry. But as the technology matures and approaches hard efficiency limits, researchers and manufacturers have started to embrace a relative newcomer \u2014 the Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact (PERC) solar cell.<\/p>\n

In this article, we\u2019ll look at the core benefits of PERC solar cells, how they work, how they\u2019re made, and even how to sell them. But first, let\u2019s get into some background about how conventional solar cells work and what limitations they present.<\/p>\n
