Photovoltaics, the clean generation of energy by converting solar energy into electrical energy, is an integral part of the future energy mix in Germany. With the planned elimination of nuclear energy and the necessary reduction of the combustion of fossil raw materials for power generation, photovoltaics is becoming increasingly important for the generation of energy.Different technologiesSolar cells are essentially available on the market in 3 forms. The most common form in which solar cells are produced is silicon-based solar cells. Depending on the processing of the starting material, monocrystalline solar cells and amorphous silicon-based solar cells are available. The 2. The second generation of solar cells, which has also established itself on the market, are so-called CIG(S) cells. These consist of metal layers of different thicknesses, which have semiconducting properties and can therefore be used to generate electricity. While silicon-based solar cells generally measure about 10 x 10 cm and are assembled into modules, CIG(S) cells are produced in one piece in the required size and monolithically integrated - module and cell are one in CIG(S) technology. The third technology that is comparatively rare on the market is the generation of electricity from dyes: the Grätzel cell.Applications for solar cells are like sand on the sea: on the roofs of houses to produce electricity for private use or for feeding into the power grid. Solar cells are also often used to implement stand-alone solutions such as parking ticket machines or the like without connection to the power grid.
