Silicon processing. Chemical etching being used to process a chunk of polycrystalline silicon for use in a photovoltaic cell (the basic unit of a solar panel). Silicon is used in photovoltaic cells because,as a semiconductor material,it has space in its electronic structure to absorb the energy of incoming sunlight and convert it into an electrical current.
