Description
This is a market dataset representing the consumption market in the region. It includes transportation of the product from the factory gate to consumption, with transport services calculated according to the regional transportation conditions for the product.
Activity Description
The production of polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic cells includes processes such as texturing, cleaning, alkaline washing, acid washing, phosphorus diffusion, PSG removal, etching, plasma chemical vapor deposition, screen printing with drying and sintering, and inspection.
Process Description
This product represents 1 Wp polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic cell. Photovoltaic cells convert light into electricity and serve as building blocks for large solar panels. Polycrystalline silicon consists of many small silicon crystals, whereas monocrystalline silicon is composed of a single continuous crystal. Polycrystalline cells typically have lower efficiency than monocrystalline photovoltaic cells.
