4 FAQs about Size of solar silicon wafers

What is solar wafer size evolution?

Solar wafer size evolvement In order to increase the power of solar panels and reduce the cost of solar panels, the silicon wafer industry has been driven to continuously expand the size of silicon wafers, from M2, M4, G1, M6, M10, and finally to M12 (G12) and M10+.

What are the different types of silicon wafers?

Below is their specific meaning: 1. M Series (Monocrystalline Silicon Wafers) The M series refers to different size evolutions of monocrystalline silicon wafers. These represent the earliest standard monocrystalline silicon wafer sizes, widely used in multicrystalline and early PERC monocrystalline modules.

Which silicon wafer is used for high-efficiency solar cells?

Used for high-efficiency PERC, TOPCon, and HJT (Heterojunction) solar cells. 2. G Series (Large-Size Silicon Wafers, G12 = 210mm) The G series represents the trend of larger wafer sizes, mainly used in high-efficiency monocrystalline PERC, TOPCon, and HJT modules.

What is the market share of large-size silicon wafers in 2022?

In 2022, the combined market share of large-size silicon wafers represented by 182mm (M10) and 210mm (G12) has exceeded 80%. Large size silicon wafers can reduce costs in both photovoltaic manufacturing and photovoltaic applications, thereby reducing the application cost of photovoltaic power generation.
