2. Solar-cell efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-cell_efficiency

   Solar-cell efficiency. Solar-cell efficiency is the portion of energy in the form of sunlight that can be converted via photovoltaics into electricity by the solar cell . The efficiency of the solar cells used in a photovoltaic system, in combination with latitude and climate, determines the annual energy output of the system.

3. Solar cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell

   A solar cell or photovoltaic cell ( PV cell) is an electronic device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by means of the photovoltaic effect. [ 1] It is a form of photoelectric cell, a device whose electrical characteristics (such as current, voltage, or resistance) vary when it is exposed to light.

4. Perovskite solar cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perovskite_solar_cell

   A perovskite solar cell ( PSC) is a type of solar cell that includes a perovskite-structured compound, most commonly a hybrid organic–inorganic lead or tin halide-based material as the light-harvesting active layer. [ 1][ 2] Perovskite materials, such as methylammonium lead halides and all-inorganic cesium lead halide, are cheap to produce ...

6. Photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaics

   Photovoltaics ( PV) is the conversion of light into electricity using semiconducting materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect, a phenomenon studied in physics, photochemistry, and electrochemistry. The photovoltaic effect is commercially used for electricity generation and as photosensors . A photovoltaic system employs solar modules ...

7. Shockley–Queisser limit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockley–Queisser_limit

   In physics, the radiative efficiency limit (also known as the detailed balance limit, Shockley–Queisser limit, Shockley Queisser Efficiency Limit or SQ Limit) is the maximum theoretical efficiency of a solar cell using a single p-n junction to collect power from the cell where the only loss mechanism is radiative recombination in the solar ...
