Journey of Quartz: Production Techniques of Solar Cell from Silicon Wafers
In the PV industry, the production chain from quartz to solar cell usually involves 3 major types of companies focusing on all or only parts of the value chain:
-
Producers of solar cells from quartz, which are companies that basically control the whole value chain
-
Producers of silicon wafers from quartz - companies that master the production chain up to the slicing of silicon wafers and then sell these wafers to factories with their own solar cell production equipment
-
Producers of solar cells from silicon wafers, which basically refers to the limited quantity of solar PV module manufacturers with their own wafer-to-cell production equipment to control the quality and price of the solar cells.
