Figure 1 indicates a consistent underestimate by the PV industry participants of the extent to which monocrystalline silicon would overtake directionally solidified silicon as the preferred wafering technology. When PERC solar cells were first commercial-ized, p-type multicrystalline silicon wafers still dominated the solar cell market.
Monocrystalline silicon is also used for high-performance photovoltaic (PV) devices. Since there are less stringent demands on structural imperfections compared to microelectronics applications, lower-quality solar-grade silicon (Sog-Si) is often used for solar cells.
The first mainstream Over the past decade, a revolution has occurred in the manufacturing of crystalline silicon solar cells. The conventional ‘‘Al-BSF’’ technology, which was the mainstream technology for many years, was replaced by the ‘‘PERC’’ technology.
The silicon wafers used in solar cell manufacturing can have different crystal struc-tures based on the crystal growth technique employed. The first mainstream Over the past decade, a revolution has occurred in the manufacturing of crystalline silicon solar cells.
The EU mostly imports PV modules from China, which for the last decade has remained the global leader in PV manufacturing across the supply chain. This article aims to provide insight into the solar PV industry and the surrounding policy context, focusing on the manufacturing phase and its climate impact.
Approximately 95% of the total market share of solar cells comes from crystalline silicon materials . The reasons for silicon’s popularity within the PV market are that silicon is available and abundant, and thus relatively cheap.
