To make solar cells for monocrystalline solar panels, silicon is formed into cylindrical bars called as ‘silicon ingot’. Then the silicon ingot is cut into squares with chamfered edges know as silicon wafers. These silicon wafers are solar cells which are then assembled in rows and columns to form a solar panel.
Monocrystalline solar cell manufacturing process is called ‘ Czochralski process ’. It is a complex and expensive manufacturing process which results in lot of wastage of silicon crystals, which makes them more expensive than polycrystalline solar panels.
In the field of solar energy, monocrystalline silicon is also used to make photovoltaic cells due to its ability to absorb radiation. Monocrystalline silicon consists of silicon in which the crystal lattice of the entire solid is continuous. This crystalline structure does not break at its edges and is free of any grain boundaries.
Monocrystalline silicon PV cells are produced with the Czochralski method, generated from single silicon crystals. Their manufacturing process is quite expensive since they require a specific processing period. Their energy pay-back time is around 3–4 years (Ghosh, 2020). Their efficiency varies between 16 and 24 %.
Monocrystalline silicon is the base material for silicon chips used in virtually all electronic equipment today. In the field of solar energy, monocrystalline silicon is also used to make photovoltaic cells due to its ability to absorb radiation.
Monocrystalline silicon cells can absorb most photons within 20 μm of the incident surface. However, limitations in the ingot sawing process mean that the commercial wafer thickness is generally around 200 μm. This type of silicon has a recorded single cell laboratory efficiency of 26.7%.
