Production of Upgraded Metallurgical Grade (UMG) silicon for a low-cost high-efficiency and reliable PV technology
José Manuel Míguez Novoa, Volker Hoffmann, Eduardo Fornies +12
UMG-Si has the potential to reduce the cost of PV technology and to improve its environmental profile. In this contribution, we summarize the extensive work made in the research an…
Upgraded Metallurgical Grade Silicon for solar electricity production: a comparative Life Cycle Assessment
Laura Méndez, Eduardo Forniés, Daniel Garrain +3
Solar grade silicon (SoG-Si) is a key material for the development of crystalline silicon photovoltaics (PV), which is expected to reach the tera-watt level in the next years and a…
UMG silicon for solar PV: from defects detection to PV module degradation
Eduardo Fornies, Carlos del Canizo, Laura Mendez +3
Upgraded metallurgical grade silicon (UMG-Si) for photovoltaic (PV) solar applications has been manufactured through the metallurgical route by means of the process developed by Fe…
