Question

why we can use silicon in solar panels?

Answer 1

One of the main reasons that silicon is the semiconductor material of choice in microelectronics is that it forms a unique oxide on the surface when heated to high temperatures. ... Microelectronics grade silicon is too expensive for economical large area coverage, but totally unrefined silicon solar cells don't work

Answer 2

BECAUSE IT IS A GOOD CONDUCTOR PF HEAT IT CAN ABSORB MORE HEAT THAN OTHER ELEMENTS
