Abstract
The direct conversion of solar energy to electrical energy (photovoltaic effect) by solar cells is receiving increasing attention on a world-wide scale. Photovoltaic energy conversion offers itself to a practical and meaningful implementation in regions without a conventional energy grid. This paper deals with the principles of silicon solar cells for terrestrial applications and new methods for the production of the necessary silicon.
