Multi and single crystalline are largely utilized in manufacturing systems within the solar cell industry. Both crystalline silicon wafers are considered to be dominating substrate materials for solar cell fabrication.
Monocrystalline and polycrystalline Si are the two distinct types of c-Si solar cells. The monocrystalline structure is homogeneous and consists of a single, continuous crystal with no grain boundaries. Throughout the material, the alignment of Si atoms and the lattice parameter remain constant.
In solar cell fabrication, crystalline silicon is either referred to as the multicrystalline silicon (multi-Si) or monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si) [70–72]. The multi-Si is further categorized as the polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) or the semi-crystalline silicon, consisting of small and multiple crystallites.
The first generation of the solar cells, also called the crystalline silicon generation, reported by the International Renewable Energy Agency or IRENA has reached market maturity years ago . It consists of single-crystalline, also called mono, as well as multicrystalline, also called poly, silicon solar cells.
