  2. 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.

  3. Solar panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel

    Solar panels are also known as solar cell panels, solar electric panels, or PV modules. Solar panels are usually arranged in groups called arrays or systems . A photovoltaic system consists of one or more solar panels, an inverter that converts DC electricity to alternating current (AC) electricity, and sometimes other components such as ...

    Thin-film solar cells, a second generation of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells: Top: thin-film silicon laminates being installed onto a roof. Middle: CIGS solar cell on a flexible plastic backing and rigid CdTe panels mounted on a supporting structure Bottom: thin-film laminates on rooftops Thin-film solar cells are a type of solar cell made by depositing one or more thin layers (thin films or ...

    For most crystalline silicon solar cells the change in V OC with temperature is about −0.50%/°C, though the rate for the highest-efficiency crystalline silicon cells is around −0.35%/°C. By way of comparison, the rate for amorphous silicon solar cells is −0.20 to −0.30%/°C, depending on how the cell is made.

    If they are different, the total current through the solar cell is the lowest of the three. By approximation, [26] it results in the same relationship for the short-circuit current of the MJ solar cell: J SC = min(J SC1, J SC2, J SC3) where J SCi (λ) is the short-circuit current density at a given wavelength λ for the subcell i.

  7. List of types of solar cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_types_of_solar_cells

    A solar cell (also called photovoltaic cell or photoelectric cell) is a solid state electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect, which is a physical and chemical phenomenon. It is a form of photoelectric cell, defined as a device whose electrical characteristics, such as current ...
