The Working Principle of a Solar Cell

The working principle of solar cells is based on the photovoltaic effect, i.e. the generation of a potential difference at the junction of two different materials in response to electromag-netic radiation. The photovoltaic effect is closely related to the photoelectric effect, where electrons are emitted from a material that has absorbed light with a frequency above a material-dependent

Fundamentals of Solar PV System | PPT

19. A PV cell is a light illuminated pn- junction diode which directly converts solar energy into electricity via the photovoltaic effect. A typical silicon PV cell is composed of a thin wafer consisting of an ultra-thin layer of phosphorus-doped (n-type) silicon on top of a thicker layer of boron- doped (p-type) silicon. When sunlight strikes the surface of a PV cell, photons
