How It Works: Manufacturing solar panels.
When you think of sun and sand, holidays in the Caribbean are usually what springs to mind but have you thought about solar panels instead?.
Solar cells are made from silica sand. However, simply melting silica sand produces glass. To produce the silicon needed for solar panels, chemically bound oxygen must be removed from the silica sand. The industrial process mixes coal or petroleum coke with the sand to remove oxygen as carbon dioxide during smelting.
