Prospects for the Production of Silicon and Solar Energy Products in the Republic of Uzbekistan

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a comparative analysis of the technical and economic parameters of the trichlorosilane and monosilane processes of silicon production. It is shown that Russia’s available gangue quartz, quartz sands, natural gas, and new methods of smelting technical silicon, as well as new technologies for its conversion into monosilane, makes it possible to organize environmentally friendly industrial production of raw silicon and competitive, highly efficient photovoltaic energy products based on monosilane technology.
