TYPES OF PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS AND THEIR EFFICIENCY

Аннотация

The efficiency of photovoltaic cells is determined by the factors that convert sunlight into electrical energy. This, in turn, depends on the materials of the photovoltaic cells, their production technologies, and the angle at which the photovoltaic cells are installed to receive sunlight. This work discusses the types of photovoltaic cells, their operating principles, and methods for increasing their efficiency. Key words: photovoltaic cell, photovoltaic effect, light beam, silicon, photon, current flow, efficiency, perovskite, heterojunction, power, ohmic contact, photocurrent.
