Solar cell

OverviewApplicationsHistoryDeclining costs and exponential growthTheoryEfficiencyMaterialsResearch in solar cells

A solar cell or photovoltaic cell (PV cell) is an electronic device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by means of the photovoltaic effect. It is a form of photoelectric cell, a device whose electrical characteristics (such as current, voltage, or resistance) vary when it is exposed to light. Individual solar cell devices are often the electrical building blocks of photovoltaic modules, kn…
