READ MOREBottom right: completed solar wafers. In electronics, a wafer (also called a slice or substrate) [1] is a thin slice of semiconductor, such as a crystalline silicon (c-Si, silicium), used for the fabrication of integrated circuits and, in photovoltaics, to manufacture solar cells . The wafer serves as the substrate for microelectronic devices
READ MOREThere are two kinds of silicon cells: n-type and p-type. The n-type silicon cells are positively-charged and are based on phosphorus. The n-type cell is the most efficient, as it achieves a high efficiency of up to 30%. Unlike p-type cells, n-type solar cells are highly expensive. For this reason, a crystalline silicon cell is much more
