Abstract

Various methods of manufacturing low-cost solar-grade silicon are reviewed. The methods include refining metallurgical-grade silicon, reduction of silicon compounds by metals and non-metals, transport and thermal decomposition processes. The materials are briefly characterized by the chemical analysis, resistivity measurements and efficiency of solar cells obtained from them.
