Photovoltaic cells, commonly known as solar cells, comprise multiple layers that work together to convert sunlight into electricity.The primary layers include: The top layer, or the anti-reflective coating, maximizes light absorption and minimizes reflection, ensuring that as much sunlight as possible enters the cell.

Solar cells are the electrical devices that directly convert solar energy (sunlight) into electric energy. This conversion is based on the principle of photovoltaic effect in which DC voltage is generated due to flow of electric current between two layers of semiconducting materials (having opposite conductivities) upon exposure to the sunlight [].

Photovoltaic cells are semiconductor devices that can generate electrical energy based on energy of light that they absorb.They are also often called solar cells because their primary use is to generate electricity specifically from sunlight, but there are few applications where other light is used; for example, for power over fiber one usually uses laser light.

Hence, IPCE continuously increases with the controlled gate voltage. As well, free-carrier generation is enhanced by increasing dissociation, and the induced electric field is also expected to increase the photogenerated-carrier collection by extending the charge bimolecular-recombination lifetime and increasing the drift length of carriers.
