The mc-Si quality affects directly the conversion efficiency of solar cells, and thus, it is crucial to the cost of PV electricity. With the breakthrough of crystal growth technology, the so-called high-performance mc-Si has increased about 1\% in solar cell efficiency from 16.6\% in 2011 to 17.6\% in 2012 based on the whole ingot performance. In this paper, we report our development of this high-performance mc-Si. The key ideas behind this technology for defect control are discussed. With the high-performance mc-Si, we have achieved an average efficiency of near 17.8\% and an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 633 mV in production. The distribution of cell efficiency was rather narrow, and low-efficiency cells (<17\%) were also very few. The power of the 60-cell module using the high-efficiency cells could reach 261 W as well. }, doi = {10.1002/pip.v23.310.1002/pip.2437}, url = {http://doi.wiley.com/10.1002/pip.v23.3http://doi.wiley.com/10.1002/pip.2437https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/pip.2437https://api.wiley.com/onlinelibrary/tdm/v1/articles/10.1002\%2Fpip.2437}, author = {Yang, Y.
