The main reasons are as follows: (1) Energy consumption: the production of polysilicon PV modules requires a significant input of fossil resources, with associated environmental impacts; (2) Raw material consumption: the manufacture of polysilicon PV modules demands large quantities of silicon, aluminum, silver, copper, steel and other metals, whose

Polycrystalline silicon

Polysilicon is produced from metallurgical grade silicon by a chemical purification process, called the Siemens process. This process involves distillation of volatile silicon compounds, and their decomposition into silicon at high temperatures. An emerging, alternative process of refinement uses a fluidized bed reactor.
