Imakethe yomhlaba wonke ye-quartz emsulwa ilinganiselwa ezigidini ezingama-US $800 ngo-2019 futhi kulindeleke ukuthi ikhule ngezinga lokukhula elihlanganisiwe lonyaka lika-6% ngesikhathi sokubikezela. Imakethe yomhlaba wonke ye-quartz ehlanzekile iqhutshwa yisidingo esikhulayo somkhakha we-semiconductor we-high-purity quartz. Ngesidingo esikhulu se-quartz emsulwa evela kubakhiqizi bemikhiqizo yelanga, isifunda sase-Asia-Pacific sibamba ingxenye enkulu yemakethe yomhlaba wonke ye-quartz emsulwa.
I-High-purity quartz iyimpahla ekhethekile engasetshenziswa ezimbonini ezidinga izinhlelo zokusebenza zobuchwepheshe obuphezulu (njengemboni yamandla elanga). I-high-purity quartz sand yisisombululo esingabizi kakhulu esingahlangabezana nezidingo ezihlala zikhula zezindinganiso zekhwalithi zemboni yelanga. Amandla elanga angumthombo obalulekile wamandla avuselelekayo.

Ngakho-ke, imboni yamandla elanga ithole ukunakwa. Amazwe amaningana emhlabeni wonke asebenzisa amaphrojekthi elanga ukuze onge amandla angavuselelwa. Amandla elanga ahlanganisa ukuguqula amandla elanga abe amandla kagesi ngokusebenzisa amaseli e-photovoltaic (PV). Isihlabathi se-quartz esihlanzekile siyinto eluhlaza yokukhiqiza ama-crucibles, asetshenziswa embonini yamaseli elanga.

I-quartz ehlanzekile isetshenziswa ngezindlela eziningi ukwenza amaseli e-c-Si namamojula, okuhlanganisa iziphambano, ingilazi yequartz yamashubhu, izinduku nabafelokazi, kanye ne-silicon yensimbi. I-silicon iyinto eyisisekelo yawo wonke amamojula we-c-Si photovoltaic. Ama-crucibles amakhulu angama-rectangular asetshenziselwa ukwenza i-polysilicon yamaseli e-solar photovoltaic. Ukukhiqizwa kwe-silicon ye-monocrystalline kudinga iziphambano eziyindilinga ezenziwe nge-quartz ehlanzekile ye-solar-grade.

Amazwe emhlabeni wonke aya ngokuya ekhathazeka ngezinye izindlela esikhundleni samandla ahlanzekile. Izinguquko eziningi zenqubomgomo yomhlaba kanye "Nesivumelwano saseParis" kufakazele ukuzibophezela kumandla ahlanzekile. Ngakho-ke, ukuthuthukiswa komkhakha wamandla elanga kulindeleke ukuthi kukhuphule imakethe ye-quartz ehlanzekile kakhulu ngesikhathi sokubikezela.
