Abstract

Solar cell also called photovoltaic cell, a device which directly converts the sunlight (energy of light) into electricity (electrical energy). This photovoltaic effect produces both current and voltage for generating electrical power. Firstly this process requires a material which absorb the light raising the electrons to a higher state of energy secondly the movement of these higher electrons dissipates the energy into the external circuit and return to solar cell. By using the semiconductor material which makes form p-n junction make the photovoltaic conversion. We will study in this article the types of solar cell with its applications.
