Solar Photo tonic system

Here ,we  will have an idea about what is solar cell,about its efficiency .

    Solar Cell:

  • Solar Cell is a device which is used to convert the light energy i.e., energy from sun into electrical energy.
  •  Photovoltaic cell is said to be as solar cell
  •  Silicon is the main ingredient in solar cells.
  • Solar cell is a device which is very commonly found in day-to-day uses like children toys, torches, calculators etc.

Solar cell materials:

  •  The materials of solar cell are:

I.     Monocrystalline silicon

II.      Polycrystalline silicon

III.     Amorphous silicon

IV.     Cadmium telluride

V.     Copper indium

  • Ø These materials has different efficiencies as well as costs.
  • Ø The materials used for the efficient solar cell should have characteristics which is equivalent to the spectrum of light.

 

Efficiency:

  • Ø The efficiency is defined as the ratio of the output of the solar cell to the incident energy.
  • Ø Solar cell efficiencies can be divided into many frequencies such as reflectance efficiency,thermodynamic efficiency and conductive efficiency.
