Solar Cell Production: from silicon wafer to cell
Solar Cell Production Industry StructureHow Are Silicon Wafers Made?Processing of Silicon Wafers Into Solar CellsBefore even making a silicon wafer, pure silicon is needed which needs to be recovered by reduction and purificationof the impure silicon dioxide in quartz. In this first step, crushed quartz is put in a special furnace, and then a carbon electrode is applied to generate a high-temperature electric arcbetween the electrode and the silicon dioxide.See more on sinovoltaics Published: Oct 9, 2015OSTI.GOV
