The majority of photovoltaic modules currently in use consist of silicon solar cells. A traditional silicon solar cell is fabricated from a p-type silicon wafer a few hundred micrometers thick and approximately 100 cm 2 in area. The wafer is lightly doped (e.g., approximately 10 16 cm − 3) and forms what is known as the "base" of the cell may be multicrystalline silicon or single

The structure of the formed silicon crystal is identical to that of the seed crystal and is made up of perfectly organised molecules. The formed ingot is then cut into thin wafers to be used in solar panels and their surfaces are polished to allow them to refract more sunlight. This means that the cost to install monocrystalline solar

To further develop the PV market in China''s mainland and the Taiwan region, further cost reduction and efficiency improvement are required. In addition, technology innovations become significant, especially in low-cost silicon growth, because as of 2013, 90% of all solar cells in the world were based on silicon [1].Report [1] noted that 55% of silicon wafers are cut

In addition to this, monocrystalline solar cells are also the most space-efficient form of silicon solar cell. Another advantage to the use of monocrystalline cells is that they last the longest of all silicon solar cells. Many manufacturers will offer warranties that last up to 25 years on these types of system.
