Cover Story

An Overview of Wet Chemistry Processing for the Manufacture of Silicon Solar Cells

The solar cell industry has been truly remarkable to observe over the past ten years. During this time, the industry has sustained a CAGR of more than 40 percent in cell production. Silicon consumption is currently twice that of the much more mature semiconductor industry.1 Up until the first half of 2008, attractive operating margins were sustained throughout most of the supply chain. However, since the second half of 2008, like most other industries, the Photovoltaic (PV) industry is experiencing significant challenges. The current credit crisis has impacted initiation of new PV projects and module supply is currently exceeding that of demand.
