Silicon-based photovoltaic solar cells
The first step in producing silicon suitable for solar cells is the conversion of high-purity silica sand to silicon via the reaction SiO 2 + 2 C → Si + 2 CO, which takes place in a furnace at temperatures above 1900 C, the carbon being supplied usually in the form of coke and the mixture kept rich in SiO 2 to help suppress formation of SiC.
Why Is There A Limit To The Efficiency Of Solar Panels?
What Is A Solar Cell? A solar cell is a device that captures the energy of the sun in the form of direct sunlight and converts it into electrical energy. A solar cell is also known as a photovoltaic cell, which implies that it converts the photons present in the light into a voltage difference (which essentially means "electrical power").
