From rocks to solar cells: Silicon as the beating heart of solar panels
Every solar cell you see around, has a heart of rock! We, the process metallurgists working in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, are responsible to provide the heart of the solar cells.
Role of silicon carbide (SiC) in silicon/ferro silicon (Si/FeSi) process
The demand for high quality silicon is rapidly increasing in the solar cell industry and for production of photovoltaic applications. To meet this demand, the industrial production of silicon must be made more effective.
