The market scale of monocrystalline silicon continues to expand, with photovoltaic as the main application field. Monocrystalline silicon refers to the substance formed by silicon atoms in an arrangement, which is a relatively active non-metallic element crystal. Compared with polycrystalline silicon, monocrystalline silicon has the advantages of high photoelectric conversion efficiency, high mechanical strength, long service life, low fragmentation rate, and is widely used in photovoltaic power generation and semiconductor manufacturing.

Australian researchers have sought to measure solar cells’ optical properties via low cost office scanners and found they may offer results that are comparable to those of tools used in the PV industry.
