During the past few decades, crystalline silicon solar cells are mainly applied on the utilization of solar energy in large scale, which are mainly classified into three types, i.e., mono-crystalline silicon, multi-crystalline silicon and thin film, respectively .
Multicrystalline silicon cells. Multicrystalline cells, also known as polycrystalline cells, are produced using numerous grains of monocrystalline silicon. In the manufacturing process, molten polycrystalline silicon is cast into ingots, which are subsequently cut into very thin wafers and assembled into complete cells.
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.
Utilizing silicon single crystals, a monocrystalline solar cell is created using the Czochralski process. The monocrystalline’s efficiency is between 15 and 20 percent. It is built of silicon ingots and has a cylindrical shape. What are Polycrystalline Solar Cells?
Techniques for the production of multicrystalline silicon are simpler, and therefore cheaper, than those required for single crystal material. However, the material quality of multicrystalline material is lower than that of single crystalline material due to the presence of grain boundaries.

Monocrystalline vs. Polycrystalline Solar Panels | EnergySage
Polycrystalline solar cells are also called "multi-crystalline" or many-crystal silicon. Polycrystalline solar panels generally have lower efficiencies than monocrystalline cell options because there are many more crystals in each cell, meaning less freedom for the electrons to move. Due to the easier manufacturing process, these panels have a ...

As mentioned above, a single-material PV cell can convert only about 15% of the available energy to useful electrical power. To improve this performance, multiple cells with different band gaps, which are more complex and therefore more expensive, can be used. These are called multi-junction PVs. Particularly; a triple-junction PV produced ...
