Solar cells
A solar cell is a semiconductor optoelectronics component that converts solar energy directly into electrical energy. This process of converting sunlight into energy is that of photovoltaics. Silicon, which largely makes up a solar cell, is specifically mixed with drilling and phosphorus atoms. This creates two electric fields. The silicon-drilling layer is positively charged (p) and the silicon-phosphorus layer is negatively charged (n). . The transition between the two layers is the so-called positive-negative transition (pn). |
