Polycrystalline silicon (PS) is the material of choice for photovoltaic (PV) applications.
PS is the purest synthetic material on the market, though its processing carries high
environmental risk. While many current optoelectronic applications require high
purity, PV applications do not and alternate processes and materials are being
explored for PV-grade silicon. It reviews current and potential future processing
technologies for PV applications of solar silicon. It describes alternative processes and
issues of material purity, cost, and environmental impact. It covers limits of silicon
use with respect to high-efficiency solar cells and challenges arising from R&D
activities.
KEY FEATURES
• Analyzes past research and industrial development of low-cost silicon
processes in view of understanding future trends in this field.
• Discusses challenges and probability of success of various solar silicon
processes.
• Covers processes that are more environmentally sensitive.
• Describes limits of silicon use with respect to high-efficiency solar cells and
challenges arising from R&D activities.
• Defines purity requirements and purification processes of MG-Si.
• Examines production of solar grade silicon directly from MG-Si.
SELECTED CONTENTS
Purity Requirements for Silicon in Photovoltaic Applications. The MG Silicon Route.
Conventional and Advanced Purification Processes of MG Silicon. Elkem Solar and the
Norwegian PV Industry through 40 Years (1975–2015). From Conventional Polysilicon
Siemens Process to Low-Energy Fluidized Bed Processes Using Silane.
Thermodynamic Research for the Development of Solar Grade Silicon Refining
Processes. Index.
