Abstract – Silicon has been the dominant material in the photovoltaic (PV) industry since its application in the space industry in 1958. This review focuses on crystalline silicon solar cells, primarily due to their dominance in the photovoltaic industry, omitting other photovoltaic cell technologies such as second generation
The results show finally that th e quartz has got good result in purity but need enrichment for the photovoltaic application. exploring this form of energy. Al geria with over two million square kilometers of area, receives the equivalent of 300 billionTep per year in solar en ergy.
In the photovoltaic supply chain, a substantial amount of photovoltaic secondary silicon-containing resource (PV-SSCR), including metallurgical-grade silicon refined slag (MGSRS), silicon fume (SF), silicon cutting waste (SCW) and end-of-life silicon solar cell (ESSC) from discharged modules, can be recycled.
Silicon dominates the photovoltaic industry, particularly in its crystalline form. From a resource point of view, silicon is well placed as there are abundant reserves of silica in the earth’s crust, and the production of metallurgical-grade silicon far exceeds the demand from the photovoltaic industry.
A crystalline silicon solar cell produces a voltage of about 0.5 volts. Therefore, individual cells are usually interconnected to produce a voltage useful for practical application. Moreover, the interconnected solar cells are encapsulated for protection, and in this way a solar module (panel) is produced.
Impurities play a vital role in silicon solar cells. Impurities such as boron and phosphorus, in small amounts, are desirable for the formation of the p-n junction that is necessary for electricity generation in the silicon solar cell, while other impurities have adverse effects on solar cells.
