Silicon for Solar Cells: Everything You Need to Know

Why is silicon preferred over germanium in solar cells? Both silicon and germanium don''t have the limitations of gallium arsenide. But silicon is used more commonly as a semiconductor for its easy availability, cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, nontoxicity, and favorable band gap. Silicon in its pure form has been used as an electrical component for a long time now. So, it was …
