Solar Cell Band Gap
Dec 1st
For a basic understanding of the functioning of a solar cell, it is important to know what the term really means band gap. It is these material-specific property that explains the behavior of the semiconductor in a solar cell to a large extent. In order to understand this article, some knowledge of both physics and chemistry is required. It is understood that in any event at any level knows what electrons are and what role they play in a material. It is also assumed that you know what an electron volt and a photon is.

Knowledge about semiconductors is indispensable for explaining the functioning of a solar cell. A semiconductor is a material which, in terms of conductivity is in between conductors and insulators (see band gap for a more detailed discussion of this). Read the rest of this entry »
