The fluctuating price of energy, due to a variety of reasons ranging from geo-political constraints to national and international economic issues, and the fact that these energy resources are finite, can be seen as the main incentives to make a transition to a clean energy society. Solar energy is just one of many ways to make this transition a reality, and of the raft of clean energy technologies available, solar energy technology does offer appealing prospects. With the fact that solar energy offers an inexhaustible supply that is literally pollution-free, and coupled to the fact that the planet receives more sunlight in one day than what is required to meet the energy demands of the world for one year, utilizing this resource will undeniably be good for the business community and for the public. While solar energy has been harnessed for centuries, the modern approach has been to construct solar cells and solar module arrays using silicon; with the experience garnered from its use in the semiconductor industry, silicon was a natural choice for use in converting sunlight into usable electricity.
