Why are solar panels so expensive?
Most solar cells (the best ones) are made from
silicon crystal that is grown very slowly.
Silicon crystals growth from pure silicon is
an extremely slow and expensive process.
Because of gravity and how the crystals are grown
it is very hard to grow large flawless crystals.
The biger the crystal the harder it is to make Continue reading »
