Concepts are described for measuring the basic characteristics of solar cells and their dependencies on light intensity, temperature and light spectra. Attention is paid to principle work with various kinds of load resistances, to the function of a pyranometer, of a sun simulator and to the measurement of the quantum efficiency of solar cells.
Solar cell is the basic unit of solar energy generation system where electrical energy is extracted directly from light energy without any intermediate process. The working of a solar cell solely depends upon its photovoltaic effect hence a solar cell also known as photovoltaic cell. A solar cell is basically a semiconductor device.
Solar Cell Definition: A solar cell (also known as a photovoltaic cell) is defined as a device that converts light energy into electrical energy using the photovoltaic effect. Working Principle: Solar cells generate electricity when light creates electron-hole pairs, leading to a flow of current.
Some of these covered characteristics pertain to the workings within the cell structure (e.g., charge carrier lifetimes) while the majority of the highlighted characteristics help establish the macro per-formance of the finished solar cell (e.g., spectral response, maximum power out-put).
Efficiency: The efficiency of a solar cell is the ratio of its maximum electrical power output to the input solar radiation power, indicating how well it converts light to electricity. Solar cell is the basic unit of solar energy generation system where electrical energy is extracted directly from light energy without any intermediate process.
