2.1.1 Principle

Solar cells convert light directly into electricity using certain properties of semiconductor materials.

  • Photon processing

    When a cell is illuminated by a stream of photons, depending on their energy, the photons are either :

    • (material reflection coefficient) ;

    • absorbed (absorption coefficient) ;

    • ...
