Why do solar cells need crystalline silicon?
An essential prerequisite for the growth of crystalline silicon from the raw materials is the availability of silicon of the highest purity attainable. 17 Impurities or defects in the single crystals can lower the performance of the solar cell device due to recombination of charge carriers.
Can molten silicon be used to make a solar cell?
This molten silicon is 99% pure which is still insufficient to be used for processing into a solar cell, so further purification is undertaken by applying the floating zone technique (FTZ). During the FTZ, the 99% pure silicon is repeatedly passed in the same direction through a heated tube.
How crystalline silicon is a high efficiency solar cell?
The solar cell efficiency of crystalline silicon is limited by three loss mechanisms: optical losses, carrier losses and electrical losses. The back contact silicon solar cell is another high efficiency device, where all the metallisation on the front surface is removed.
What is single crystalline silicon?
Single crystalline silicon is usually grown as a large cylindrical ingot producing circular or semi-square solar cells. The semi-square cell started out circular but has had the edges cut off so that a number of cells can be more efficiently packed into a rectangular module.
How to make multi-crystalline silicon cells?
In order to make multi-crystalline silicon cells, various methods exist: DSS is the most common method, spearheaded by machinery from renowned equipment manufacturer GT Advanced. By this method, the silicon is passed through the DSS ingot growth furnace and processed into pure quadratic silicon blocks.
What is a crystalline silicon solar panel?
Most solar panels today use crystalline silicon. Fenice Energy focuses on high-quality, efficient production of these cells. Monocrystalline silicon cells need purity and uniformity. The Czochralski process achieves this by pulling a seed crystal out of molten silicon. This creates a pure silicon ingot.
