Solar Photovoltaic Wafer Market Volume Analysis, Segments, Value Share and Key Trends 2017-2027

Solar modules made from wafers of crystalline silicon have been the dominant technology in terrestrial photovoltaic. A slab or solar photovoltaic wafer is used to create a photovoltaic cell. More than 85% of solar cells currently made worldwide consist of wafer-based silicon cells. The wafer is subjected to high temperature in the presence of phosphorous oxychloride to induce into it the physical properties required to produce electricity. The top of the solar photovoltaic wafer is coated with an anti-reflective material like silicon nitride to increase the light absorption capacity by minimizing the reflection. The solar photovoltaic wafer industry is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period.
