Silicon solar Modules

What is silicon solar cells & modules?

In the topic "Silicon Solar Cells and Modules", we support silicon photovoltaics along the entire value chain with the aim of bringing sustainable, efficient and cost-effective solar cells and modules to industrial maturity. We develop new solar cell and module concepts for our customers, evaluate production technology and test new materials.

What are crystalline silicon PV modules?

This article will discuss an overview of Crystalline Silicon PV Modules. Photovoltaic (PV) cells, commonly referred to as solar cells, are assembled into a PV module or solar PV module. PV modules (also known as PV panels) are linked together to form an enormous array, called a PV array, to meet a specific voltage and current need.

What are crystalline silicon solar cells?

They’re modules made from crystalline silicon solar cells produced in the microelectronics industry, which is why they’re called crystalline silicon photovoltaics. There are many applications where space is limited, and crystalline silicon solar cells provide a high-efficiency level. Why is crystalline silicon used in solar cells?

What is a solar module?

A solar module—what you have probably heard of as a solar panel—is made up of several small solar cells wired together inside a protective casing. This simplified diagram shows the type of silicon cell that is most commonly manufactured. In a silicon solar cell, a layer of silicon absorbs light, which excites charged particles called electrons.
