monocrystalline silicon (c-Si): often made using the Czochralski process Single-crystal wafer cells tend to be expensive and because they are cut from cylindrical ingots, do not completely cover a square solar cell module without a substantial waste of refined silicon. Hence most c-Si panels have uncovered gaps at the four corners of the cells.[1]
