| How Solar Modules Are Produced |

First, silicon raw material is are melted and re-casted to remove impurities.
The casted silicon is then stabilized in its polycrystalline form.
These casts are called "ingots" and are cut into blocks.

Next, the ingots are sliced into wafers.
p-type and n-type silicon wafers are produced dependent on the sliced silicon.
Thus electricity can be generated. Electrodes are also attached to the wafers to conduct the electricity flow, which is called "solar cell."
 Although this is enough to generate small amounts of electricity, Solar cell are connected in series in order to increase voltage to a useful level.
Tempered glass and encapsulants are used to support the cells. "Solar Modules" are thus produced.
