The importance of quartz in photovoltaic cells is primarily due to its physical properties and chemical stability. Quartz has characteristics of high hardness, high melting point, good light transmittance and chemical stability. These characteristics make quartz an indispensable material for the manufacturing of photovoltaic cells, specifically in the following aspects:
First of all, quartz has excellent high temperature resistance, so it can remain stable in high temperature environments. During the manufacturing process of photovoltaic panels, silicon wafers need to be bonded to glass to form the basic structure of solar panels, which requires high temperature sintering, and quartz’s high temperature resistance enables it to meet this requirement.
Secondly, quartz has excellent optical property, and it can maintain high transmittance and reflectivity in high temperature and extreme ultraviolet environments, so it can improve power generation efficiency of solar panels. In addition, the chemical stability of quartz enables it to resist chemical corrosion, and ensure the long-term stability of solar panels.
The specific application of quartz in photovoltaic cells
Silicon wafer manufacturing
Extracting silicon from high-purity quartz ore to produce silicon wafers for photovoltaic cells. The purity of quartz directly affects the purity and quality of silicon wafers.
Photovoltaic cell packaging
The high light transmittance and chemical stability of quartz glass make it an ideal packaging material. It can effectively extend the service life of photovoltaic cells.
Crucible and furnace material
During the production of silicon wafers, quartz crucibles and furnaces can withstand high temperatures of up to thousands of degrees Celsius, which ensure the pure melting of silicon materials.
In summary, quartz plays a very important role in photovoltaic cells. With the rapid development and improvement of photovoltaic industry, the demand for quartz will continue to grow, and the requirements for the purity and particle size of quartz will become higher and higher.
