What is a solar cell design book?
This book covers solar cell fabrication, design and performance, properties of sunlight, and practical aspects of photovoltaic systems.
What is a solar cell?
A solar cell is a type of photoelectric cell which consists of a p–n junction diode. Solar cells are also called photovoltaic (PV) cells. An intrinsic (pure or undoped) semiconducting material like silicon (Si) or germanium (Ge) does not contain any free charge carriers.
What is photovoltaic effect based on?
This conversion is based on the principle of photovoltaic effect in which DC voltage is generated due to flow of electric current between two layers of semiconducting materials (having opposite conductivities) upon exposure to the sunlight . A solar cell is a type of photoelectric cell which consists of a p–n junction diode.
What are thin-film solar cells and concentrated photovoltaics (CPV)?
Thin-film solar cells and concentrated photovoltaics (CPV): In the 1970s, researchers began developing thin-film solar cells, which required less material and were more flexible than traditional silicon cells.
