Conversion Efficiency or $/Watt? Which is more important?
No doubt, the cell efficiency is important. Silicon wafer solar cells convert typically 15–20% of the sun's energy into DC power, thin-film solar cells are in the 8–10% range and DSC's in 3-7% range. But cell efficiency is just one number in a...
In this lecture, crystalline silicon technology is reviewed.
I would like to learn more about creating Solar Cells, and start to create my own. However, I dont know where I could buy Silicon. Is there anywhere online that I can order it or an element near it that could be used as a substitute?
Silicon is one of the limiting factor in manufacturing solar panels. Until recently microchip companies buy up the suppply adn there was a shortage. Now there has been improvement of manufacturing Silican disk adn the slow down on the computer...

It is said that Mono-crystalline Silicon has a slightly higher cost compared to Poly-crystalline Silicon. How much is the difference? Please answer as soon as possible. Thanks! (:
Here is a comparison. A poly cell:

Worldwide Partnership Between Air Liquide And Sixtron For ...
Air Liquide and Sixtron Advanced Materials announced an exclusive partnership to promote and distribute advanced coating materials to crystalline silicon (“c-Si”) solar cell manufacturers worldwide. This innovative SilexiumTM technology will enable crystalline solar panel producers - which today represent around 70% of all photovoltaic manufacturers - to improve the performance of their solar cells efficiency and reduce costs/Wp without significant up-front capital investment.
Air Liquide and Sixtron Advanced Materials announced an exclusive partnership to promote and distribute advanced coating materials to crystalline silicon (“c-Si”) solar cell manufacturers worldwide. This innovative SilexiumTM technology will enable crystalline solar panel producers - which today represent around 70% of all photovoltaic manufacturers - to improve the performance of their solar cells efficiency and reduce costs/Wp without significant up-front capital investment. The agreement will leverage Air Liquide’s leading position in the photovoltaic industry supply chain. Manufacturers of c-Si solar cells in more than 20 countries do already benefit from Air Liquide materials management and on-site services infrastructure, enabling them to now rapidly deploy the SilexiumTM technology to mass production. Francisco Martins, Vice-President World Business Line Electronics of the Air Liquide Group, declared: “This global partnership with Sixtron demonstrates Air Liquide strategic interest to provide its photovoltaic customers with the safest, most advanced and lowest cost-of-ownership Gases & Precursors solutions in the market. The photovoltaic market is at the crossroads of Energy and the Environment, two growth drivers of the Air Liquide group.” Air Liquide is the world leader in gases for industry, health and the environment, and is present in over 75 countries with 42,300 employees. Oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and rare gases have been at the core of Air Liquide’s activities since its creation in 1902. Using these molecules, Air Liquide continuously reinvents its business, anticipating the needs of current and future markets. The Group innovates to enable progress, to achieve dynamic growth and a consistent performance. Innovative technologies that curb polluting emissions, lower industry’s energy use, recover and reuse natural resources or develop the energies of tomorrow, such as hydrogen, biofuels or photovoltaic energy… Oxygen for hospitals, homecare, fighting nosocomial infections… Air Liquide combines many products and technologies to develop valuable applications and services not only for its customers but also for society. A partner for the long term, Air Liquide relies on employee commitment, customer trust and shareholder support to pursue its vision of sustainable, competitive growth. The diversity of Air Liquide’s teams, businesses, markets and geographic presence provides a solid and sustainable base for its development and strengthens its ability to push back its own limits, conquer new territories and build its future. Air Liquide explores the best that air can offer to preserve life, staying true to its sustainable development approach. In 2009, the Group’s revenues amounted to €12 billion, of which almost 80% were generated outside France. Air Liquide is listed on the Paris Euronext stock exchange (compartment A) and is a member of the CAC 40 and Dow Jones Euro Stoxx 50 indexes.
