As the negative charge (light generated electrons) is trapped in one side and positive charge (light generated holes) is trapped in opposite side of a cell, there will be a potential difference between these two sides of the cell. This potential difference is typically 0.5 V. This is how a photovoltaic cells or solar cells produce potential

Solar cells, or photovoltaic (PV) cells, change sunlight into electricity. This happens through the photovoltaic effect. When materials like silicon are hit by sunlight, they create an electric current. Solar cells have layers of these materials, with an electric field that separates positive and negative charges. This separation creates electron flows, which we can

Solar panels are composed of many smaller photovoltaic cells, and each cell is essentially a sandwich of semiconductor panels. This multitude of PV cells makes up a solar panel. Sunlight is composed of photons, and when they strike the PV cells, the photons knock electrons loose from atoms, which creates the flow of electricity. To create an electric current,
