Customer ServiceSilicon has long been the dominant material in photovoltaic technology due to its abundant availability and well-established manufacturing processes. As the second most common element in the Earth’s crust, silicon’s natural abundance and mature processing techniques have made it the go-to choice for solar cell production for decades.
Silicon solar cells have been an integral part of space programs since the 1950s becoming parts of every US mission into Earth orbit and beyond. The cells have had to survive and produce energy in hostile environments, undergoing exposures to radiation, solar flares, and temperature extremes. Norasikin Ahmad Ludin, ...
By the late 20th century, silicon solar cells had firmly established themselves as the standard in the photovoltaic industry, with efficiencies surpassing 15% . In the 21st century, the focus shifted towards further improving the efficiency and reducing the cost of silicon solar cells.
The dominance of silicon in the photovoltaic market can be attributed to several key factors. Firstly, silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, making it readily available for solar cell production . This abundance has been a critical factor in the widespread adoption and scalability of silicon-based solar cells.
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.
Besides, the high relative abundance of silicon drives their preference in the PV landscape. Silicon has an indirect band gap of 1.12 eV, which permits the material to absorb photons in the visible/infrared region of light.
