Solar and Polysilicon Manufacturing Industry

 

CLEAN ENERGY REQUIRES CLEAN PROCESSES

 

The solar panel manufacturing industry includes owners and operators of solar power generating facilities in the form of either photovoltaic panels or solar thermal power stations that make use of mirrors or lenses to concentrate the sun’s energy. Operators then sell the energy to downstream customers.

The solar industry relies on silicon to make photovoltaic (PV) devices and solar cells. For silicon to be used effectively with semiconductor material in solar cells, it must be refined and processed.

These businesses require systems and solutions to meet their photovoltaic panel manufacturing process emissions and pollution control challenges, including volatile organic compound (VOC) abatement, and acid gas scrubbing.

CECO Environmental commonly addresses the challenges of the solar and polysilicon manufacturing industry with clean, safe, and efficient products and solutions within our CECO family of brands shown below.
