Photovoltaic Silicon Wafer

Photovoltaic (PV) is one of the promising solutions to environmental and energy resource problems that have become more serious each year.

A solar cell is a type of semiconductor that directly converts sunlight into electricity by the photovoltaic effect.

Solar cells consist of many types depending on the materials and structures and are used in different ways depending on the characteristics.

The manufacturing methods and general structures of multi-crystalline silicon solar cells will be introduced.

SUMCO mass-produces high quality silicon wafers using a new proprietary technology known as the “Electromagnetic Casting Method”.

SUMCO wishes to contribute to human living and our environment through photovoltaic silicon wafers.
