PV Gap

Pearl Said:

The decreasing costs of manufacture of silicon, LED, solar panels ??

We Answered:

One major reduction in silicon costs has been with the use of amorphous, microcrystalline and polycrystalline silicon, particularly in solar panels, detectors and displays. These forms of silicon do not have a perfect crystal structure and so will have the critical performance needed for processors, but the reduction in cost more than compensates for the electrical loss with other applications.
