crystalline silicon solar cell technology

Crystalline silicon solar cells are devices that convert sunlight into electricity using silicon crystals. When sunlight hits the silicon, it excites electrons, creating an electrical current. These cells are made from either monocrystalline silicon, which has a uniform structure for higher efficiency, or polycrystalline silicon, which is slightly less efficient but more affordable. The cells are layered with metal contacts that collect and transfer the generated electricity. Crystalline silicon technology is widely used in solar panels because it’s durable, stable, and provides a reliable source of renewable energy.
