Rayton Solar’s silicon wafers

 

A CGI GIF by Rayton Solar, a solar panel manufacturer. They use laser technology to thinly slice silicon blocks with minimal wastage. As Rayton puts it “The standard industry manufacturing process wastes half the raw silicon block due to the saw blade that is used to cut silicon. Rayton Solar’s manufacturing technology is a zero waste process that represents a revolutionary new step for the solar industry.”
