Crystalline silicon or (c-Si) is the crystalline forms of silicon, either polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si, consisting of small crystals), or monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si, a continuous crystal). Crystalline silicon is the dominant semiconducting material used in photovoltaic technology for the production of solar cells. These cells are assembled into solar panels as part of a photovoltaic system to generate solar power from sunlight.
Crystalline Silicon Solar Cell
These types of solar cells are further divided into two categories: (1) polycrystalline solar cells and (2) single crystal solar cells. The performance and efficiency of both these solar cells is almost similar.
The Science Behind Sun-Powered Crystals
To create monocrystalline silicon: A small seed crystal of silicon is dipped into molten silicon. The seed is slowly pulled up while rotating, allowing a single crystal (or ingot) to form. This
