Photovoltaic polysilicon and solar cells

From the mid-1950s until the mid-1990s, hyper-pure polysilicon was exclusively produced for the semiconductor industry. In 1995 its share in polysilicon demand was 90%; the remaining 10% went as scrap silicon from the semiconductor sector to the small photovoltaic (PV) branch to produce solar cells.
