These higher energy photons will be absorbed by a silicon solar cell, but the difference in energy between these photons and the silicon band gap is converted into heat (via lattice vibrations — called phonons) rather than into usable electrical energy. The most commonly known solar cell is configured as a large-area p–n junction made from silicon.
When there is no external load applied, most silicon solar cells produce roughly 0.5 to 0.6 volts DC, which is the main characteristic of a pn-junction. A solar cell creates its maximum output voltage, also known as its open-circuit voltage, VOC, when there is no load connected or a very low current demand.
