1. Background: photovoltaic sectors and needs
1.1 Principle of photovoltaic conversion and main technologies
The principle of light-to-electricity conversion can be summarized as follows: incident photons of sufficient energy are absorbed and create mobile electrical charges in the material, which are separated and transported to metal contacts for use in an external electrical circuit.
A detailed description of the principles of photovoltaic conversion can be found at
