  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. Organic solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_solar_cell

    An Al/MgPc/Ag cell obtained photovoltaic efficiency of 0.01% under illumination at 690 nm. [20] Conjugated polymers were also used in this type of photovoltaic cell. One device used polyacetylene (Fig. 1) as the organic layer, with Al and graphite, producing an open-circuit voltage of 0.3 V and a charge collection efficiency of 0.3%. [21]

  5. Biological photovoltaics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_photovoltaics

    Biological photovoltaic devices are a type of biological electrochemical system, or microbial fuel cell, and are sometimes also called photo-microbial fuel cells or “living solar cells”. [3] In a biological photovoltaic system, electrons generated by photolysis of water are transferred to an anode. [4]

  6. Photovoltaics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaics

    The cradle to gate of CO 2-eq/kWh ranges from 37.3 to 72.2 grams when installed in Southern Europe. [68] Techniques to produce multi-crystalline silicon (multi-si) photovoltaic cells are simpler and cheaper than mono-si, however tend to make less efficient cells, an average of 13.2%. [66] EPBT ranges from 1.5 to 2.6 years. [67]

  7. 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."

  8. Theory of solar cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_solar_cells

    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.

  9. Dye-sensitized solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye-sensitized_solar_cell

    A selection of dye-sensitized solar cells. A dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC, DSC, DYSC [1] or Grätzel cell) is a low-cost solar cell belonging to the group of thin film solar cells. [2] It is based on a semiconductor formed between a photo-sensitized anode and an electrolyte, a photoelectrochemical system.
