A much greater thickness of crystalline silicon is required for the same absorption.

Also unlike crystalline silicon, these substrates can be flexible.

Since inception, the dominant solar cell technology in the marketplace has been based on wafers of crystalline silicon.

The cell is made from crystalline silicon, as are many other photovoltaic cells, but it collects the charge in a different way.

More than 85% of the solar cells produced worldwide are based on crystalline silicon.

This material typically behaves more like crystalline silicon than the amorphous variety.

Another promising approach is using rods of crystalline silicon.

Recently, solutions to overcome the limitations of thin-film crystalline silicon have been developed.

In crystalline intrinsic silicon, there are approximately 5x10 atoms/cm3.

The basic building blocks of computers made from crystalline silicon are p-n junctions.
