Abstract
The world's solar cell production has grown rapidly and steadily with an annual average of 30% over the last two decades. Single and micro-crystalline silicon solar cells have been the major reason for this production increase. In 2009, silicon-based solar cells comprised almost 90% of worldwide photovoltaic module shipments.
