Bookmark or Share- Solar Cell Structure | PVEducationA solar cell is an electronic device which directly converts sunlight into electricity. Light shining on the solar cell produces both a current and a voltage to generate electric power.
- Solar Photovoltaic Cell Basics | Department of EnergySolar 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 ...
- How Solar Cells Work | HowStuffWorksIn order to harness solar energy production in a form that can power everyday devices, humanity has come up with photovoltaic cells, commonly known as solar panels. But how do solar panels work?

- PV Cells 101: A Primer on the Solar Photovoltaic CellHow a Solar Cell Works. Solar cells contain a material that conducts electricity only when energy is provided—by sunlight, in this case. This material is called a semiconductor; the “semi” means its electrical conductivity is less than that of a metal but more than an insulator’s.
