This introductory slide explains how solar cells convert sunlight to electricity via the photovoltaic effect, where photon absorption generates electron-hole pairs. It emphasizes solar energy as a renewable source that reduces fossil fuel dependence.
Solar cells are based on p-n junction diodes, where the photovoltaic effect generates voltage and current without external bias. The built-in electric field separates photo-generated charge carriers.
The slide depicts the construction of a solar cell, featuring n-type silicon as the top layer and p-type silicon as the bottom layer. It also includes an anti-reflective coating on top, along with metal contacts and encapsulation.

The slide outlines the working principle of a p-n junction photovoltaic cell in a five-step workflow. Photons are absorbed in the depletion region to generate electron-hole pairs, which the built-in field separates—driving electrons to the n-side and holes to the p-side—before carriers flow through an external circuit to produce current.

The "Working Diagram" slide depicts the photovoltaic process in a solar cell p-n junction. Sunlight excites electrons in the p-layer, which the electric field sweeps to the n-layer as holes move to the p-layer, enabling current flow through an external load.

The slide's energy band diagram depicts light exciting electrons from the valence band to the conduction band, forming carriers in a depletion region with band bending and aligned Fermi levels. A built-in electric field separates these carriers, enabling continuous current collection at the electrodes.

The "Important Formulae" slide presents three key photovoltaic equations: photocurrent (Iph = q GL A), fill factor (FF = (Vmp Imp) / (Voc Isc)), and power (P = V I). Each includes a brief description of variables and concepts, such as generation rate, maximum power points, and electrical output.
q=charge, GL=generation rate, A=area
Ratio at max power to open/short circuit
Electrical output power
Open Circuit Voltage (Voc) is the maximum voltage across a solar cell at zero current (I=0). The slide gives the formula Voc = (kT/q) ln[(IL / I0) + 1], where IL is the light-generated photocurrent and I0 is the diode saturation current.
The slide defines solar cell efficiency (η) as (Pmax / Pin) × 100%, where Pmax is maximum output power and Pin is standard incident light (1000 W/m²). It also gives an equivalent formula η = (Voc × Isc × FF / Pin) × 100%, with FF as the fill factor.
The slide displays an I-V characteristics curve, labeling Isc as short-circuit current at V=0 and Voc as open-circuit voltage at I=0. It also highlights the MPP for maximum power efficiency and the knee region as the sharp bend near MPP.

This slide lists key advantages of a renewable energy source, including its inexhaustible nature, zero emissions, low maintenance, and 25+ year lifespan. It is also scalable from small to large systems and reduces dependence on fossil fuels.
Solar power systems face limitations such as high initial costs and dependence on intermittent sunlight. They also suffer from lower efficiency (typically 15-22%) and require large areas for significant power generation.
The "Applications" slide lists key uses of solar technology. It highlights solar panels for homes and buildings, satellites and space stations, remote power for pumps and lights, and calculators and wearables.
The slide lists given parameters for a numerical problem: open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.6 V, short-circuit current (Isc) of 5 A, and fill factor (FF) of 0.8. It then calculates maximum power (Pmax) as 2.4 W and efficiency as 24% based on an input power of 10 W.
| Given Parameters | Calculations |
|---|
| Voc = 0.6 V Isc = 5 A FF = 0.8 | Pmax = Voc × Isc × FF = 0.6 × 5 × 0.8 = 2.4 W Efficiency (P_in = 10 W): η = (2.4 / 10) × 100% = 24% |
Solar cells harness the photovoltaic effect to generate clean energy, making them essential for a sustainable future and carbon reduction. The slide envisions higher efficiency through new materials, with the subtitle stating "Solar cells power sustainable tomorrow."
• Harness photovoltaic effect for clean energy
