-Monocrystalline silicon PV cells are made from silicon wafers that are cut from cylindrical single-crystal silicon ingots. The rotund cells have to be cut to form nearly quadratic cells, that can be easily integrated in one module. Thus, refined silicon is wasted in the cell production process. Monocrystalline silicon shows predictable and uniform behaviour, but, due to the careful and slow manufacturing processes required, it is also the most expensive type of silicon.
+Monocrystalline silicon PV cells are made from silicon wafers that are cut from cylindrical single-crystal silicon ingots. The rotund cells have to be cut to form nearly quadratic cells, that can be easily integrated in one module. Thus, refined silicon is wasted in the cell production process. The cut-off material generated during the squaring process will be usally recycled in the multi-crystalline wafer manufacturing or as incoming material for the polysilsicon producting due to higher cleaning cost for direct feed-in in the CZ-mono crystallization prozess.<br/>
 Modules consisting of monocrystalline silicon PV cells reach commercial efficiencies between 15 and 18&nbsp;%. So far, they are the most efficient modules and, with about 85% in 2010, have the largest market share. However, other alternatives are challenging this technology.
