Solar (photovoltaic) industry: Removal of residual sawing material from solar wafers

A solar cell, or photovoltaic (PV) cell, converts sunlight into electricity. Photovoltaics is a growing industry as it uses a CO2-free renewable energy source, the sun.

The manufacturing includes the removal of sawing material after ingot slicing of solar wafers. After this process step, the wafers require cleaning, and this is done with the aid of acid baths.
