PID
As PID occurs at negative voltages for p-type cells [2] and at positive voltages for n-type IBC (Interdigitated Back Contact) cells [3] or n-PERT cells [5,7], PID can be prevented by grounding the system, respectively, at the negative and the positive connector/pole, thus preventing the degradation inducing system voltages.

How a Solar Cell Works
A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their outer energy level than does silicon. Because boron has one less electron than is required to form the bonds with the surrounding silicon atoms, an electron vacancy or "hole" is created.
View more6 FAQs about [Why is n-type photovoltaic cell added n-type]
What makes p-type and n-type solar cells different?
To summarize, the main aspect that makes P-type and N-type solar cells different is the doping used for the bulk region and for the emitter.
How do n-type and P-type solar cells generate electricity?
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.
Why are n-type solar cells more expensive than P-type solar cells?
The production of N-Type solar cells is generally more expensive than P-Type cells. This is due to the complexity of the manufacturing process and the need for high-purity materials. Despite the higher initial costs, the long-term return on investment (ROI) for N-Type solar cells can be favorable.
Are n-type solar cells better?
N-Type solar cells are known for their robust performance in diverse climatic conditions. Their efficiency remains relatively stable in hot climates, a significant advantage given the temperature sensitivity of solar cells. While N-Type solar cells offer higher efficiency, this comes at a cost.
What are n-type solar cells?
N-Type solar cells are distinguished by their unique structural composition, which plays a crucial role in their performance. These cells are made using silicon doped with elements like phosphorus, which impart an excess of electrons, thereby creating a negative charge (N-Type).
Why do large-scale solar projects use n-type cells?
Large-scale solar projects often opt for N-Type cells due to their higher efficiency and longer lifespan, maximizing energy output over the project’s lifetime. For instance, solar farms in harsh climatic conditions benefit from the robust performance of N-Type cells.
