Production of upgraded metallurgical-grade silicon for a low-cost, high-efficiency, and reliable PV technology

Upgraded metallurgical-grade silicon (UMG-Si) has the potential to reduce the cost of photovoltaic (PV) technology and improve its environmental profile. In this contribution, we summarize the extensive work made in the research and development of UMG technology for PV, which has led to the demonstr...
