How does the photovoltaic cells work?
Simply put, a solar panel works by allowing photons, or particles of light, to knock electrons free from atoms, generating a flow of electricity.
Photovoltaic solar cells are the thin silicon chips that transform the sunlight into electricity in a scientfic way.
Solar Cells, covering single crystal, polycrystalline and amorphous materials utilising homojunctions and heterojunctions, Schottky barriers, liquid junctions and their applications.
Photovoltaic solar cells fulfill two functions: photogeneration of charge carriers (electrons and holes) in a light-absorbing material, and separation of the charge carriers to a conductive contact that will transmit the electricity.
Photovoltaic cells use the photovoltaic effect to convert sunlight directly into electric current and voltage.
