Imakethi ye-quartz ecocekileyo yehlabathi jikelele ixabisa malunga nezigidi ezingama-800 zeedola zaseMelika ngo-2019 kwaye kulindeleke ukuba ikhule ngesantya sokukhula sonyaka esisi-6% ngexesha loqikelelo. Imakethi yehlabathi ye-quartz esulungekileyo iqhutywa yimfuno ekhulayo yoshishino lwe-semiconductor ye-quartz ecocekileyo. Ngemfuno ephezulu yococeko oluphezulu lwequartz evela kubavelisi bemveliso yelanga, ummandla waseAsia-Pacific uba nesabelo esikhulu kwimakethi ye-quartz ecocekileyo yehlabathi.
I-quartz ye-high-purity yimathiriyeli ekhethekileyo engasetyenziswa kumashishini afuna izicelo eziphezulu zobuchwepheshe (ezifana noshishino lwamandla elanga). Isanti ye-quartz ecocekileyo yisisombululo esinexabiso eliphezulu esinokuhlangabezana neemfuno ezihlala zinyuka zemigangatho yemigangatho yoshishino lwelanga. Amandla elanga ngumthombo obalulekileyo wamandla ahlaziyekayo.

Ngoko ke, ishishini lamandla elanga lifumene ingqalelo. Amazwe amaninzi kwihlabathi jikelele aphumeza iiprojekthi zelanga ukugcina amandla angahlaziyekiyo. Amandla elanga abandakanya ukuguqula amandla ekukhanyeni kwelanga abe ngamandla ombane ngokusebenzisa iiseli ze-photovoltaic (PV). Isanti ye-quartz ecocekileyo yimathiriyeli ekrwada yokuveliswa kwee-crucibles, ezisetyenziswa kwishishini leeseli zelanga.

I-quartz yococeko oluphezulu lusetyenziswa ngeendlela ezininzi zokwenza iiseli ze-c-Si kunye neemodyuli, kubandakanywa ii-crucibles, i-quartz glass for tubes, iintonga kunye nabahlolokazi, kunye ne-silicon yensimbi. I-Silicon yinto esisiseko yazo zonke iimodyuli ze-c-Si photovoltaic. Ii-crucibles ezinkulu ezixande zisetyenziselwa ukwenza i-polysilicon yeeseli ze-photovoltaic zelanga. Ukuveliswa kwe-silicon ye-monocrystalline kufuna ii-crucibles ezijikelezayo ezenziwe nge-quartz ecocekileyo ye-solar-grade.

Amazwe asehlabathini azixhalabele ngakumbi ezinye iindlela endaweni yamandla acocekileyo. Iinguqu ezininzi zomgaqo-nkqubo wehlabathi kunye "neSivumelwano saseParis" zibonakalise ukuzibophelela kumandla acocekileyo. Ke ngoko, uphuhliso lweshishini lamandla elanga kulindeleke ukuba lonyuse imakethi ye-quartz ecocekileyo kakhulu ngexesha loqikelelo.
