  2. 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 type of photoelectric cell, a device whose electrical characteristics (such as current , voltage , or resistance ) vary when it is exposed to light.

  3. Theory of solar cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_solar_cells

    Effect of temperature on the current-voltage characteristics of a solar cell. Temperature affects the characteristic equation in two ways: directly, via T in the exponential term, and indirectly via its effect on I 0 (strictly speaking, temperature affects all of the terms, but these two far more significantly than the others).

  4. 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 ...

  5. Organic solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_solar_cell

    An organic solar cell (OSC [1]) or plastic solar cell is a type of photovoltaic that uses organic electronics, a branch of electronics that deals with conductive organic polymers or small organic molecules, [2] for light absorption and charge transport to produce electricity from sunlight by the photovoltaic effect.

  6. Photovoltaics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaics

    Solar cells produce direct current electricity from sunlight which can be used to power equipment or to recharge batteries. The first practical application of photovoltaics was to power orbiting satellites and other spacecraft, but today the majority of photovoltaic modules are used for grid-connected systems for power generation.

  7. Maximum power point tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_point_tracking

    The central problem addressed by MPPT is that the efficiency of power transfer from the solar cell depends on the amount of available sunlight, shading, solar panel temperature and the load's electrical characteristics. As these conditions vary, the load characteristic that gives the highest power transfer changes. The system is optimized when ...

    Left side: solar cells made of polycrystalline silicon Right side: polysilicon rod (top) and chunks (bottom). Polycrystalline silicon, or multicrystalline silicon, also called polysilicon, poly-Si, or mc-Si, is a high purity, polycrystalline form of silicon, used as a raw material by the solar photovoltaic and electronics industry.

  9. Multi-junction solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-junction_solar_cell

    The J-V characteristics (J is current density, i.e. current per unit area) of a solar cell under illumination are obtained by shifting the J-V characteristics of a diode in the dark downward by I ph. Since solar cells are designed to supply power and not absorb it, the power P = VI ph must be negative.
