  3. Solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell

    A solar cell, also known as a 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_solar_cells

    In thick solar cells there is very little electric field in the active region outside the space charge zone, so the dominant mode of charge carrier separation is diffusion. In these cells the diffusion length of minority carriers (the length that photo-generated carriers can travel before they recombine) must be large compared to the cell ...

    The most common device structure for CIGS solar cells is shown in the diagram (see Figure 1: Structure of a CIGS device).Soda-lime glass of about of 1–3 millimetres thickness is commonly used as a substrate, because the glass sheets contains sodium, which has been shown to yield a substantial open-circuit voltage increase, [15] notably through surface and grain boundary defects passivation. [16]

  7. Photovoltaic effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_effect

    The photovoltaic effect is the generation of voltage and electric current in a material upon exposure to light. It is a physical phenomenon. [1] The photovoltaic effect is closely related to the photoelectric effect. For both phenomena, light is absorbed, causing excitation of an electron or other charge carrier to a higher-energy state.

  9. Schottky junction solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schottky_junction_solar_cell

    In a basic Schottky-junction (Schottky-barrier) solar cell, an interface between a metal and a semiconductor provides the band bending necessary for charge separation. [1] Traditional solar cells are composed of p-type and n-type semiconductor layers sandwiched together, forming the source of built-in voltage (a p-n junction ). [ 2 ]
