A solar cell functions similarly to a junction diode, but its construction differs slightly from typical p-n junction diodes.A very thin layer of p-type semiconductor is grown on a relatively thicker n-type semiconductor.We then apply a few finer electrodes on the top of the p-type semiconductor layer.. These electrodes do not obstruct light to reach the thin p-type layer.

Abstract: This chapter presents the important features of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and an overview of electrical storage technologies. The basic unit of a solar PV generation system is a solar cell, which is a P‐N junction diode. The power electronic converters used in solar systems are usually DC‐DC converters and DC‐AC converters.
The PV technology convert visible spectrum to electricity and thermal collectors use both infrared and visible spectrum for energy generation. So the energy generation from solar radiation can be in the form of electrical energy or thermal Energy. The various conversion paths of solar energy is described in the Fig.2
The generation of thermal energy from solar can be realized using various solar reflecting collectors. Most of the technology works on the principle of reflection, radiation and convention or based on the thermosiphon effect. Sun is a gigantic star, with diameter of 1.4 million kilometer releasing electromagnetic energy of about 3.8 x 1020 MW.
Therefore, this article will explore the fundamentals of a basic solar power system. In a typical solar power generation system, the sunlight strikes the solar panels, generating DC electricity in the photovoltaic (PV) cells. The DC voltage travels through cables to the inverter and the inverter converts the DC electricity into AC electricity.
Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaic (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). The research has been underway since very beginning for the development of an affordable, in-exhaustive and clean solar energy technology for longer term benefits.
