Global Progress, Prospects, and Sustainability Challenges of Solar
The photovoltaic (PV) effect is the fundamental principle involved in solar cells for converting natural or artificial light into electricity. The vital building block of the solar PV is the solar cell, which is a two-terminal device, and it conducts like a diode in the dark and produces a potential difference when excited by photons.

Introduction to Solar Cells
Solar cells are the electrical devices that directly convert solar energy (sunlight) into electric energy. 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 [].
