However, the kind of sand used to make those cells must be very pure to be used in creating high-efficiency solar panels. Silicon is extracted from

To build solar panels, silica-rich sand must be extracted from natural deposits, such as sand mines or quarries, where the sand is often composed of quartz, a form of crystalline silica.
