Technical FAQs 4

What is polycrystalline silicon?

Polycrystalline silicon is a key component in the manufacturing of solar cells, which convert sunlight into electricity. Polycrystalline silicon is produced by melting high-purity silicon in a crucible and then slowly cooling it to form solid ingots. These ingots are then sliced into thin wafers, which are used as the base material for solar cells.

How are monocrystalline solar panels manufactured?

Monocrystalline solar panels are manufactured by cutting individual silicon wafers from one large silicon block. These wafers are then affixed to a solar panel. Monocrystalline silicon cells are more efficient than polycrystalline or amorphous solar cells.

Are polycrystalline silicon solar panels sustainable?

Solar panels made with polycrystalline silicon have a long lifespan and require minimal maintenance, making them a sustainable and low-maintenance energy solution. Overall, the use of polycrystalline silicon in solar panels helps to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change.

Does a solar panel have a glass covering?

A standard solar panel includes a glass casing at the front to add durability and protection for the silicon photovoltaic (PV) cells.
