Polycrystalline Silicon Solar Cell (p-Si) or Multi-Crystalline Silicon Solar Cell (mc-Si) is a material comprising multiple small silicon crystals. For this solar panel, the Polycrystalline Silicon is made by melting raw silicon and pouring it into square mold, which is cooled and cut into perfectly square wafers. The process used to make polycrystalline silicon is simpler and cost less. The efficiency of Polycrystalline-based solar panels is typically 13 ~ 16%.
