Globally, REC Silicon ASA, through its various group entities, manufactures and supplies silicon-based materials, primarily serving the solar energy and electronics sectors. For photovoltaic (solar) applications, the company provides a range of solar-grade polysilicon products such as granular polysilicon, Siemens rod sections, as well as various forms like chunks, chips, and fines. Additionally, it supplies electronic-grade polysilicon, including specialized forms like TearDrop, as-grown Siemens rods, rod sections, chunks, and chips. These are crucial for Czochralski monocrystalline ingot/wafer production within the semiconductor industry, and also cater to other electronic markets like optics and microelectromechanical systems. Float zone polysilicon is also part of its electronic offerings. Its product portfolio is further diversified by silicon gases, encompassing silane, dichlorosilane, monochlorosilane, disilane, and polysilanes. Originally named Renewable Energy Corporation ASA, the firm adopted its current name, REC Silicon ASA, in October 2013. Established in 1996, it maintains its principal office in Lysaker, Norway.
