Definition
1. Crystalline silicon (c-Si) is the crystalline forms of silicon, either multicrystalline silicon (multi-Si) consisting of small crystals, or monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si), a continuous crystal. Crystalline silicon is the dominant semiconducting material used in photovoltaic technology for the production of solar cells. These cells are assembled into solar panels as part of a photovoltaic system to generate solar power from sunlight.
2. Crystalline silicon (c-Si) is the crystalline forms of silicon. The type of Crystalline Silicon (c-Si) are: Monocrystalline Silicon Solar Cells (mono-Si); Polycrystalline Silicon Solar Cells (p-Si) or multi-crystalline silicon (multi-Si), or Thin-Film Solar Cell (TFSC) or Thin-Film Photovoltaic Cells (TFPV).
