The monocrystalline silicon solar cells are quite costly and there is little room for a price reduction due to the high price of monocrystalline silicon materials and the complex cell manufacturing process [ 23 ]. As a result, in industrial production, polysilicon has replaced monocrystalline silicon.
The main advantage of monocrystalline silicon cells is the high efficiency that results from a high-purity and defect-free microstructure. Currently, the Cz method has evolved into a highly sophisticated technique, governed by multiple parameters. This complexity adds further challenges in understanding and enhancing the current methodology.
The small-scale test data have a limited guiding effect on industrial purification and cannot guarantee the purification effect and silicon-recovery rate. Therefore, the recovery and purification technologies of metals in crystalline-silicon solar cells need to go beyond the laboratory and further towards the development of industrial application.
For conventional monocrystalline silicon cell avalanche breakdown is one of the crucial mechanism responsible for junction and this occurs at the weakest location in the cell area. The leakage current distribution might not be uniform under reverse bias condition, and one of them could lead to hotspot.

For analysis, four 100 W PVs were installed horizontally in Sohar, Oman. For each pair of PV modules, one was left dusty due to environmental impact, and the second was cleaned daily.
