Study Notes
Crystalline Silicon Cell Manufacturing Process
- The manufacturing process of crystalline silicon cells involves series of steps before assembly into PV modules.
Mono-crystalline Silicon Cells Production
- Silicon is formed into cylindrical bars and then cut into wafers, increasing waste (silicon scrape) and making it expensive.
- Each crystalline silicon cell is electrically tested and sorted based on current output.
- Cells are electrically connected to form cell circuits for assembly into photovoltaic (PV) modules.
