2. Theory of solar cells - Wikipedia

   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 ...

3. Electric boat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_boat

   Solar powered boats started to become known around 1985 and in 1995 the first commercial solar passenger boats appeared. [41] Solar powered boats have been used successfully at sea. The first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean was achieved in the winter of 2006/2007 by the solar catamaran Sun21. [42] [43] (see also List of solar-powered boats)

4. Tûranor PlanetSolar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tûranor_PlanetSolar

   The 31-metre boat is covered by 537 m 2 [6] of solar panels rated at 93 kWp, [7] which in turn connect to two electric motors, one in each hull. [2] There are 8.5 tons of lithium-ion batteries in the ship's two hulls. [8] The boat's shape allows it to reach speeds of up to 10 knots (19 km/h). [1]

   As of year 2000 it was the largest solar-powered ship in the world. [5] Avalon solar cruise boat at Thriprayar, Kerala. [6] [7] In operation since 2022. Barracuda, India's Fastest Solar-electric Boat, [8] 12 passenger work boat is operating in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. It was launched in Kochi in December, 2023. [9]

6. Photovoltaic effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_effect

   The first demonstration of the photovoltaic effect, by Edmond Becquerel in 1839, used an electrochemical cell. He explained his discovery in Comptes rendus de l'Académie des sciences, "the production of an electric current when two plates of platinum or gold immersed in an acid, neutral, or alkaline solution are exposed in an uneven way to solar radiation."

7. 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.

8. Solar charger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_charger

   Portable solar chargers are used to charge cell phones and other small electronic devices on the go. Chargers on the market today use various types of solar panels, ranging from thin film panels with efficiencies from 7-15% (amorphous silicon around 7%, CIGS closer to 15%), to the slightly more efficient monocrystalline panels which offer efficiencies up to 18%.

9. Carrier lifetime - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_Lifetime

   In order to maximize the efficiency of the solar cell, it is desirable to have as many charge carriers as possible collected at the electrodes of the solar cell. Thus, recombination of electrons (among other factors that influence efficiency) must be avoided. This corresponds to an increase in the carrier lifetime.
