[0002] Silicon crystal photovoltaic (PV) technology is currently the most widely used photovoltaic technology. Its cells use silicon as the main material and are made of monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon.

Thin-film solar cells mainly use materials such as amorphous silicon, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), and organic materials, and are characterized by light weight, low production cost, and high flexibility, but their efficiency is relatively lower than that of silicon crystal PV. Polycrystalline silicon PV uses high-purity silicon microcrystalline crystals, comparable to ordinary silicon crystal cells, but its manufacturing process is more advanced than that of silicon crystal PV technology. Silicon ingots are a commonly used type of silicon crystal.
