Photovoltaic panel silicone thickness standard
An optimum silicon solar cell with light trapping and very good surface passivation is about 100 µm thick. However, thickness between 200 and 500µm are typically used, partly for practical issues such as making and handling thin wafers, and partly for surface passivation reasons.

The international standards for photovoltaic (PV) module safety qualification, IEC 61730 series (61730-1 and 61730-2), were recently updated to reflect changes in PV module technologies. Published in 2016, the new second edition relies on the important and fundamental concepts from IEC horizontal standards, in particular, the IEC 60664 series.
For silicon material in excess of 10 mm thick, essentially all the light with energy above the band gap is absorbed. The 100% of the total current refers to the fact that at 10 mm, all the light which can be absorbed in silicon, is absorbed. In material of 10 µm thick, only 30% of the total available current is absorbed.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) supports crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) research and development efforts that lead to market-ready technologies. Below is a summary of how a silicon solar module is made, recent advances in cell design, and the associated benefits.
Using only 3–20 μm-thick silicon, resulting in low bulk-recombination loss, our silicon solar cells are projected to achieve up to 31% conversion efficiency, using realistic values of surface.
