Multicrystalline silicon cells. Multicrystalline cells, also known as polycrystalline cells, are produced using numerous grains of monocrystalline silicon. In the manufacturing process, molten polycrystalline silicon is cast into ingots, which are subsequently cut into very thin wafers and assembled into complete cells.
It used to be thought that large grain crystals were the most suitable for multicrystalline silicon solar cells since larger crystals meant fewer grain boundaries. However, in recent years it was found that smaller grains gave lower stress at the ground boundaries so they were less electrically active (lower recombination).
The first generation of the solar cells, also called the crystalline silicon generation, reported by the International Renewable Energy Agency or IRENA has reached market maturity years ago . It consists of single-crystalline, also called mono, as well as multicrystalline, also called poly, silicon solar cells.
Multi and single crystalline are largely utilized in manufacturing systems within the solar cell industry. Both crystalline silicon wafers are considered to be dominating substrate materials for solar cell fabrication.
