Maximum demonstrated efficiency in monocrystalline silicon cells
editI think Monocrystalline silicon factors meeting dificulty now.
I'd like to point out that this page erroneously states that monocrystalline silicon solar cells have a maximum efficiency of 17%. This is clearly not true, as advances prior to the 2006 article were numerous, and many of them with over 20% efficiency. 2A00:C440:20:2E1:7145:11FA:52B5:4EBE (talk) 11:48, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
- Chinese solar engineers at Jinko Solar achieved record 22.61&% PV efficiency in mono-PERC-cells with Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell (PERC) technology at its State Key Laboratory of PV Science and Technology of China [1] That is approximately one-third improvement in the record through merely four years of laborious PV research in China - 22.61/17 = 1.33 (a one-third improvement).

Solar charger segment
editThe mention of the use of mono-crystalline panels in "solarJOOS" phone chargers seems erroneous / out of place and possibly an example of commercial interference on wikipedia. I will leave this message up for one week, If there is no objection in the mean time I will remove the offending segment. I will try to bulk out the page with more relevant facts at the same time to make it slightly more useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.105.234.127 (talk) 14:55, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
Commercial use of Wikipedia
editI don't agree that some people use wikipedia for commercial uses. I'll delete the mention of Solar Joos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.160.211.195 (talk) 13:20, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
solar cells section
editThe solar cell section is way out of date. Crystalline Si is over 20%, and thin films are nearing 20%. I suggest a "more info" instead of a paragraph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.12.18.125 (talk) 13:57, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
300mm to 450mm
editI updated the "up to" cylinder size to 45cm; it's certainly not a common size yet, but it is in production and enough of it is currently made into 450mm wafers to qualify it as a genuine industrial product and not a custom, one-at-a-time size. Scutigera (talk) 18:28, 15 June 2013 (UTC) and also remember the main use of monocrystaline, we can use it as reflector also.. on the basis of that, make a "KHATARNAK" project. 27.251.235.194 (talk) 09:02, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
Missing advantages/disadvantages
editSo what are the advantages / disadvantages vs competing technology? Performance under full-sun/cloudy/shadow conditions? 132.160.49.90 (talk) 04:22, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
Efficiency record to-date
edit- Chinese solar engineers achieve record 22.61&% PV efficiency in mono-PERC-cells with Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell (PERC) technology at its State Key Laboratory of PV Science and Technology of China [2] MaynardClark (talk) 14:35, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

editHow much mono-Si has been produced each year
editHow much mono-Si has been produced each year ? Is it going down because of less demand for mono-Si from PV ? Silicon seems to say annual production for semiconductors (are they including PV ?) is about 200,000 tonnes pa. - Rod57 (talk) 12:31, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
- Mono-Si is no longer going down; in fact, it has almost replaced poly-Si.
