Boron is a chemical element with the atomic number 5 in the periodic table. In the photovoltaic industry, boron is used as a dopant in silicon solar cells to improve the electrical properties of the material. It is an important component of p-doped silicon, which is used in the manufacture of solar cells. Boron increases the conductivity of silicon and improves the efficiency of solar cells. In addition, boron is a non-toxic element and has no negative impact on the environment.
