All silicon solar cells require extremely pure silicon. The manufacture of pure silicon is both expensive and energy intensive. The traditional method of production required 90 kWh of electricity for each kilogram of silicon. Newer methods have been able to reduce this to 15 kWh/kg.
As one of the PV technologies with a long standing development history, the record efficiency of silicon solar cells at lab scale already exceeded 24% from about 20 years ago (Zhao et al., 1998).
Silica is utilized to create metallurgical grade silicon (MG-Si), which is subsequently refined and purified through a number of phases to create high-purity silicon which can be utilized in the solar cells. The silicon is first extracted from beach sand. Sand mining is only carried out on a few numbers of beaches throughout the globe.
Solar-grade silicon is crushed into chunks and melted. Cylindrical monocrystalline silicon ingots are pulled out of a vat of molten silicon. After cooling, diamond-wire saws are used to slice the ingots into thin wafers. These thin wafers are then processed into solar cells.
Our solar power systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
