Solar Ingots

Solar Ingots are materials that can be cast into different shapes so that they can further be processed to make solar products like silicon solar cells, silicon wafers etc.

In the manufacturing of silicon wafers, solar ingots, which are formed of silicon which is very pure in nature, are cast into cylindrical shapes for further processing. The solar ingots are then cut, using saws or other cutting devices, in thin circular shapes which result in formation of silicon wafers. Using the solar ingots, the silicon wafers, which are prepared so far, are then thoroughly cleaned to remove the impurities and are also properly shaped to increase their efficiency.
