what is crystalline
Crystalline silicon is the crystalline forms of silicon, either multicrystalline silicon consisting of small crystals, or monocrystalline silicon, a continuous crystal. Crystalline silicon is the dominant semiconducting material used in photovoltaic technology for the production of solar cells. These cells are assembled into solar panels as part of a photovoltaic system to generate solar power from sunlight. In electronics, crystalline silicon is typically the monocrystalline form of silicon, an
