Customer ServiceSolar cells fabricated from mono-Si comprises an estimated 97 % (81 % p -type and 16 % n -type) of all silicon wafer-based solar cells . The typical thickness of mono-Si used PV solar cell production is in the 130‑160 μm range. In 2022, the largest mono-Si silicon wafer manufacturer was Xi’an Longi Silicon Materials Corporation.
Solar cells based on dendritic polycrystalline wafers show efficiencies of as high as 17%, comparable to the efficiencies provided by CZ monocrystalline cells using the same cell fabrication process 27. The raw, high-purity polysilicon material used for the fabrication of crystalline silicon solar cells is generally made by the Siemens method.
Future high efficiency silicon solar cells are expected to be based on n-type monocrystalline wafers. Cell and module photovoltaic conversion efficiency increases are required to contribute to lower cost per watt peak and to reduce balance of systems cost.
Wire sawing will remain the dominant method of producing crystalline wafers for solar cells, at least for the near future. Recent research efforts have kept their focus on reducing the wafer thickness and kerf, with both approaches aiming to produce the same amount of solar cells with less silicon material usage.
The texturing of multi-crystallin silicon wafers requires photolithography – a technique involving the engraving of a geometric shape on a substrate by using light – or mechanical cutting of the surface by laser or special saws. After texturing, the wafers undergo acidic rinsing (or: acid cleaning).
In the field of solar energy, monocrystalline silicon is also used to make photovoltaic cells due to its ability to absorb radiation. Monocrystalline silicon consists of silicon in which the crystal lattice of the entire solid is continuous. This crystalline structure does not break at its edges and is free of any grain boundaries.
