A silicon solar cell works the same way as other types of solar cells. When the sun rays fall on the silicon solar cells within the solar panels, they take the photons from the sunlight during the daylight hours and convert them into free electrons. The electrons pass through the electric wires and supply electric energy to.

The dominance of silicon in the photovoltaic market can be attributed to several key factors. Firstly, silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, making it readily available for solar cell production . This abundance has been a critical factor in the widespread adoption and scalability of silicon-based solar cells.
By the late 20th century, silicon solar cells had firmly established themselves as the standard in the photovoltaic industry, with efficiencies surpassing 15% . In the 21st century, the focus shifted towards further improving the efficiency and reducing the cost of silicon solar cells.
The following are the disadvantages of using silicon solar cells: They are heavily reliant on the weather. An enormous room is needed to store and accommodate them. Their installation cost is higher than those of electrical systems. They demonstrate intermittent problems.
Silicon has long been the dominant material in photovoltaic technology due to its abundant availability and well-established manufacturing processes. As the second most common element in the Earth’s crust, silicon’s natural abundance and mature processing techniques have made it the go-to choice for solar cell production for decades.
In terms of commercial viability, silicon solar cells continue to benefit from economies of scale and well-established supply chains. The cost of silicon PV cells has decreased significantly, making solar energy more competitive with traditional energy sources.
However, challenges remain in several aspects, such as increasing the production yield, stability, reliability, cost, and sustainability. In this paper, we present an overview of the silicon solar cell value chain (from silicon feedstock production to ingots and solar cell processing).
