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 [].
A photovoltaic cell (or solar cell) is an electronic device that converts energy from sunlight into electricity.This process is called the photovoltaic effect.Solar cells are essential for photovoltaic systems that capture energy from the sun and convert it into useful electricity for our homes and devices.. Solar cells are made of materials that absorb light and release
