Photovoltaic Effect
Bulk photovoltaic effects: A photovoltage arises due to the diffusion of nonequilibrium photogenerated carriers with different electron and hole mobilities in the bulk of the solid. Contact potential photovoltaic effects: A photovoltage arises due to the potential barrier at the interface between two different materials, such as the Schottky barrier at the metal …
Solar Photovoltaic Cell Basics
When light shines on a photovoltaic (PV) cell – also called a solar cell – that light may be reflected, absorbed, or pass right through the cell. The PV cell is composed of semiconductor material; the "semi" means that it can conduct electricity better than an insulator but not as well as a good conductor like a metal.
