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.
A monocrystalline solar cell is fabricated using single crystals of silicon by a procedure named as Czochralski progress. Its efficiency of the monocrystalline lies between 15% and 20%. It is cylindrical in shape made up of silicon ingots.
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 are the cells we usually refer to as silicon cells. As the name implies, the entire volume of the cell is a single crystal of silicon. It is the type of cells whose commercial use is more widespread nowadays (Fig. 8.18). Fig. 8.18. Back and front of a monocrystalline silicon cell.
Solar cells will always be more efficient than their modules. Even though monocrystalline solar cells have reached efficiency above 25% in labs, the efficiency of monocrystalline modules in the field has never crossed 23%. There are some advantages of monocrystalline solar cells over polycrystalline solar cells.
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 %.
