Solar cells are an environmentally friendly energy conversion tool.
This equipment utilizes solar energy so that its effectiveness
depends on the amount of sunlight intensity. The solar cell
industry is an alternative source of renewables. This industry
utilizes silica sand as its base material.
China and Indonesia has natural wealth of silica sand. Silica sand
reserves with high concentrations are a support for the development
of advanced materials. Mastery in advanced technology material, one
of the main hope in framework of independence of the community to
provide the raw materials of solar cell.
The technology material for solar cell have experienced a rapid
progress in developing. In the past years, a few silicon purifying
industries had started producing the silicon as the material
especially to be applied for the solar cell system by looking at
the development of the silicon production for solar cell, as well
as the projection of the solar cell marketing in the future
Today, silicon solar cell (first generation) is still dominating
the marketing world which is about 80% . The third generation of
the solar cell like dye-sensitized solar cell, organic
photovoltaic, and others are still under a research phase and
haven’t entered the mass production phase yet .
Quartz sand contains crystals of silica (SiO2) as well as
sedimentary materials that carry over the settling process. Quartz
sand or white sand is the result of weathering rocks containing
major minerals, such as quartz and rock ore. Quartz sand as a
result of weathering that is naturally washed and carried by water
or wind and settles on the banks of a river, lake, or sea. The
content of silica in sand is at least 97-98%.
This content depends on the mineralogical characteristics of the
original silica sand deposit. The physical properties of silica
sand minerals are the specific gravity, magnetism, and electricity.
With the overflowing of the spare silica sand in Indonesia, it
gives a huge opportunity for the development of the national
industry.
The solar cell industry that is being referred to is the industry
that has the independence in providing their raw materials for
their production. In Hengyang Industry, the purifying of the white
sand silica sand have been done by using the purification method.
