Simply put, students are handed a bare silicon wafer and cre-ate a p-n junction as an end product. By applying metallic contacts and leads, the students are able to then test these functional devices, observing the classic rectification behav-ior of a diode and the solar cell photovoltaic effect.
Solar cells transfer energy from the photons in sunlight to the electrons in the solar cell. The more photons of sunlight absorbed by the solar cell, the greater the electric current. That’s why the short-circuit current depends so strongly on the orientation of the solar cell.
ic cell. A solar panel consists of numbers of solar cells connected in series or parallel. The number of solar cell connected in a series generates the desired output voltage and connected in parallel generates the desired output current. The conversion of sunlight (Solar Energy) into

Measure the efficiency of solar cells as they convert sunlight to power. Solar cells convert light energy into electrical energy. With a few simple tools on a sunny day (or working indoors under a light source), you can measure how efficient a solar cell is at transforming sunlight into electricity. None needed. Investigation 1
In 1883, Charles Fritts described the first solar cells made from selenium wafers. In 1905, Albert Einstein published his paper on the photoelectric effect. In 1914, the existence of a barrier layer in photovoltaic devices is noted.5 In 1916, Robert Millikan provided experimental proof of the photoelectric effect. In 1954,
