    VA solar cell converts sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. It produces DC power from sunlight. VWhen light falls on the junction between doped p-type and n-type silicon, electrons and holes are generated. This creates an electric field that separates the charges, allowing electricity to be drawn from the device. VThe I-V characteristic curve of a solar cell shows regions of operation, with maximum power generated at the voltage and current point on the curve. Key parameters that determine efficiency include short circuit current, open circuit voltage, fill factor, and efficiency. VSolar cells have applications in power generation, communications, navigation aids, domestic and industrial use due to their reliability and lack

    V Definition

    V Principle of Solar Cell


    V Current generation
    V I-V characteristic of an illuminated p-n
    junction
    V Physical process of Solar cell
    V I-V characteristic of solar cell
    V Solar cell parameter
    V Applications
    V reference
    V Device that converts optical energy into
    electrical energy.
    ‡ It supplies a voltage and a current to a resistive load
    (light, battery, motor).
    ‡ Power = Current x Voltage=Current2 x R= Voltage2/R
    V The voltage supplied by the cell changes
    with changes in the resistance of the
    load.
    V It supplies DC power.
    V ost familiar solar cells are based on the
    effect of photo voltaic.
    V In this effect, light falling on a semi-
    conductor device of two layers, produces
    a potential difference or photo voltage
    between the layers.
    V The voltage thus produced can drive a
    current through an external circuit
    producing useful work.
    The Photovoltaic Effect in a Solar Cell
    VA solar cell is a very large diode.
    ‡ When Si that is doped p-type is next to a region of Si
    doped n-type, the holes from the p-type side diffuse
    to the n-type side. The electrons diffuse to the p-
    type side.
    ‡ This creates an electric field.
    ‡ This electric field makes it easy for current to flow in
    one direction, but hard to flow in the other.
    ‡ This electric field also separates electrons and holes
    that have been created by the absorption of sun
    light. When the electrons and holes are separated
    electric power can be extracted from the circuit.
    V When light is incident
    on p-n junction-
    ¦ Photon absorbed if a ë
     Eg
    ¦ No big change in
    majority carriers in
    conduction band.
    ¦ But a significant
    change in minority
    carriers in valance
    Band diagram when light is
    incident band .
    VA current is identified due to drift of
    minority carriers across a junction as a
    generation current.
    V Generation rate gop (EHP/cm3) participate
    in total current.
    V So the total current is depend on current
    due to usual diode and current due to
    optically generation.
    I= Ith(eqV/KT ² 1) - Iop

    I-V characteristic of an illuminated p-n junction


    V In I quadrant current and
    junction voltage both are
    +ve.(forward bias)
    V In III quadrant current
    and junction voltage both
    are ²ve.(reverse bias)
    So power is delivered to
    the device from the
    external circuit
    V But in IV quadrant junction voltage is +ve
    and current is ²ve.
    V So power is delivered from junction to
    external circuit.
    V Solar cell work in this IV quadrant region.
