Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells
Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells are a type of solar technology made from silicon crystals. They are the most common type of solar cells used in solar panels, known for their efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity. These cells are typically made from either monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon, with monocrystalline cells generally offering higher efficiency and space-saving benefits.
The manufacturing process involves slicing thin wafers from silicon ingots, which are then treated to create a photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the cells, it excites electrons, generating an electric current. This technology plays a significant role in renewable energy, contributing to sustainable power generation.
