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.
Monocrystalline silicon cells can absorb most photons within 20 μm of the incident surface. However, limitations in the ingot sawing process mean that the commercial wafer thickness is generally around 200 μm. This type of silicon has a recorded single cell laboratory efficiency of 26.7%.
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.
Higher efficiencies are produced by innovative cell designs and material and energy inventories that are different from those in the production of average crystalline silicon panels. On the other hand, higher efficiencies result to lower system environmental footprints as the system area on a kW basis is smaller.
Monocrystalline silicon is typically created by one of several methods that involve melting high-purity semiconductor-grade silicon and using a seed to initiate the formation of a continuous single crystal. This process is typically performed in an inert atmosphere, such as argon, and in an inert crucible, such as quartz.
The high efficiency is attributed to: Better photon absorption due to its black color, compared to the characteristic blue tone of poly-silicon. Monocrystalline cells are more expensive than polycrystalline cells. For this reason, mono-Si cells are useful for applications where the main considerations are weight or available area limitations.
