An inexpensive method of coating silicon shot with boron atoms comprises (1) immersing silicon shot in a boron dopant spin-on solution comprising a borosilicate, a polymer precursor, and a volatile solvent, and (2) removing the solvent so as to leave a polymeric coating containing borosilicate on the shot. A precise amount of this coated shot may then be mixed with a measured quantity of silicon pellets and the resulting mixture may then be melted to provide a boron-doped silicon melt for use in growing p-type silicon bodies that can be converted to substrates for photovoltaic solar cells.
