What is a Solar Cell?
• A structure that converts solar energy directly to DC electric energy.– It supplies a voltage and a current to a resistive load
(light, battery, motor).– Power = Current x Voltage=Current2 x R= Voltage2/R
• It is like a battery because it supplies DC power.• It is not like a battery because the voltage supplied by the
cell changes with changes in the resistance of the load.

Basic Physics of Solar Cells
• Silicon (Si) is from group 4 of the period table. When many Si atoms are in close proximity, the energy states form bands of forbidden energy states.
• One of these bands is called the band gap(Eg) and the absorption of light in Si is a strong function of Eg.

• The Sun daily provides about 10 000 times more energy to the Earth than we consume
• Photovoltaic technology directly converts solar energy into electricity
• No moving parts – no noise – no emissions – long lifetime• Large industrial potential - cost reductions needed• Feedstock for PV industry is silicon - the second most abundant
element in the crust of the Earth

• Hot carrier Cells
This concept tackles the major PV loss mechanism of thermalisation of carriers.
The purpose is to slow down the rate of photoexcited carrier cooling caused by phonon interaction in the lattice to allow time for the carriers to be collected whilst they are still hot, and hence increasing the voltage of a cell.

How does solar energy work?
Solar Electric or Photovoltaic Systems convert some of the energy in sunlight directly into electricity. Photovoltaic (PV) cells are made primarily of silicon, the second most abundant element in the earth's crust, and the same semiconductor material used for computers. When the silicon is combined with one or more other materials, it exhibits unique electrical properties in the presence of sunlight. Electrons are excited by the light and move through the silicon. This is known as the photovoltaic effect and results in direct current (DC) electricity. PV modules have no moving parts, are virtually maintenance-free, and have a working life of 20 - 30 years.

Photovoltaics
Most current solar cells are photovoltaicTypically made from silicon or amorphous silicon.
Typical efficiency ~ 12%.Best efficiency ever in laboratory: ~30%.Theoretical maximum, including concentrating light: 43%
Generic design: doped pn junction.Photons come in and photoionize donors.Built-in electric field at junction causes carriers to flow,building up a potential (voltage) btw the p and n sides.Clearly one can play with different band gap systems toarrive at materials with different absorption spectra.Also, good mobility of charge essential for this to work well -trapping of charge or poor mobility will kill efficiency.

• They are simpler to design and fabricate.
• They do not require special optics, specially designed cells, or mounting structures that must track the sun precisely. plus, flat-plate collectors can use all the sunlight
