| 1 | Granular polysilicon is a very useful form factor. | |
| 2 | That continuous nature helps lower the cost of the polysilicon coming out. | |
| 3 | Since then, polysilicon prices have plummeted to about $55 a kilogram. | |
| 4 | So as we expected based on the design, this is not electronic-grade poly, but it's not that far off. | |
| 5 | Siemens has "high-energy consumption in the deposition stage itself, which is the most energy-intensive stage of making polysilicon. |
