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.

Solar energy is the prime renewable energy source because it''s clean, renewable, and nearly inexhaustible [1].The photovoltaic (PV) cell is a widely used device for the direct conversion of solar energy into electricity, but most of solar energy is lost and converted into heat that remarkably reduces the performance of the PV cell [2].The energy losses in a single …
The ideal efficiency of STPV system with Si PV cell reaches 52.25 %, which is 12 to 13 percentage points higher than that with GaSb and other cells. This is due to the high temperature advantage of the absorber-emitter combination. Considering the low price of Si cell, this design is meaningful for application.
