Simulant Diamonds
According to SolarPanelCenter.net there are 4 types of solar panels, namely, Monocrystalline Silicon Panels, Polycrystalline Silicon Panels, String Ribbon Silicon Panels, and Amorphous Silicon Panels.
The efficiency of polycrystalline solar panels is influenced by factors such as the quality of the silicon used, the design of the panel, the amount of sunlight received, and the temperature at which the panels operate.
The efficiency of polycrystalline solar panels is influenced by factors such as the quality of the silicon material used, the design of the panel, the amount of sunlight received, and the temperature at which the panels operate.
There are a few different types of solar panel, for example Polycrystalline, Mono-crystalline, Amorphous or Hybrid. Amorphous provides the best efficiency in low light conditions but does result in larger panel sizes.
Silicon exists in a crystalline solid form in nature, such as in the form of silicon dioxide (silica) which is found in quartz. It can also be produced synthetically in various forms including polycrystalline silicon used in solar panels, amorphous silicon used in electronics, and as silicon carbide which is a very hard material used in abrasives.
The emissivity of silicon can vary depending on the specific type of silicon (e.g., monocrystalline, polycrystalline) and surface condition. However, typically, the emissivity of silicon is around 0.65-0.75 in the infrared spectrum.

The abundance, stability, and low toxicity of silicon, combined with the low cost of polysilicon relative to single crystals makes this variety of material attractive for photovoltaic production.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycrystalline_silicon_photovoltaics
The most commonly used material for making photovoltaic solar cells is silicon. Silicon solar cells come in two main types: monocrystalline and polycrystalline, with monocrystalline typically being more efficient but also more expensive.
A simple process sequence for the fabrication of passivated mesa diode arrays for photovoltaic characterization of single/polycrystalline silicon substrates is described. These diodes are used to measure a variety of substrate and cell parameters
A polycrystalline structure contain crystals with a random orientation.
silver? I can't think of any use. conductors on chip are usually aluminum, polycrystalline silicon, or copper. bond wires are usually aluminum or gold. gold bond wires on aluminum pads are sometimes unreliable because of formation of "purple plague" in the weld causing high resistance and sometimes intermittent connections. silicon? that is the semiconductor used to construct all the components.
