Why Silicon is the Most Widely Used Material in Solar Panels
Crystalline Silicon vs. Thin-Film Solar Cells. Silicon solar cells now compete with thin-film types, like CdTe, which is second in popularity. Thin-films use less material, which might cut costs, but they''re not as durable or efficient. Perovskite solar cells have quickly progressed, with efficiency jumping from 3% to over 25% in about ten years.
