Technical FAQs 4

What is a solar cell?

A solar cell (also known as a photovoltaic cell or PV cell) is defined as an electrical device that converts light energy into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. A solar cell is basically a p-n junction diode.

What is a solar cell & a photovoltaic cell?

Solar Cell Definition: A solar cell (also known as a photovoltaic cell) is an electrical device that transforms light energy directly into electrical energy using the photovoltaic effect.

How do solar cells work?

Working Principle: The working of solar cells involves light photons creating electron-hole pairs at the p-n junction, generating a voltage capable of driving a current across a connected load.

What are photovoltaic (PV) cells?

Photovoltaic (PV) cells, commonly known as solar cells, are the building blocks of solar panels that convert sunlight directly into electricity. Understanding the construction and working principles of PV cells is essential for appreciating how solar energy systems harness renewable energy.
