AI Customer ServiceThe reasons for silicon’s popularity within the PV market are that silicon is available and abundant, and thus relatively cheap. Silicon-based solar cells can either be monocrystalline or multicrystalline, depending on the presence of one or multiple grains in the microstructure.
A solar cell in its most fundamental form consists of a semiconductor light absorber with a specific energy band gap plus electron- and hole-selective contacts for charge carrier separation and extraction. Silicon solar cells have the advantage of using a photoactive absorber material that is abundant, stable, nontoxic, and well understood.
The first step in producing silicon suitable for solar cells is the conversion of high-purity silica sand to silicon via the reaction SiO 2 + 2 C → Si + 2 CO, which takes place in a furnace at temperatures above 1900°C, the carbon being supplied usually in the form of coke and the mixture kept rich in SiO 2 to help suppress formation of SiC.
