Crystalline silicon (c-Si) is an umbrella term for the crystalline forms of silicon encompassing multicrystalline silicon (multi-Si) and monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si), the two dominant semiconducting materials used in photovoltaic technology for the production of solar cells, that are assembled into a solar panel and part of a photovoltaic system to generate solar power from sunlight.In electronics, the term crystalline silicon typically refers to monocrystalline form silicon, as the sole material used for producing microchips, containing much lower impurity levels than those required for solar cells.
