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.
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.
Silicon (Si) photovoltaics (PV) are likely to become increasingly popular as part of global efforts to achieve carbon neutrality and mitigate climate change.
