Introduction to solar cells basics of solar cells Solar cells and the principles of power generation and power generation - solar cells and power generation - solar cells are devices that use solar energy and materials to interact directly to produce electrical energy. There are many kinds of materials that can produce photovoltaic effect, such as silicon materials (monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon), compound semiconductors (gallium arsenide, selenium, indium, copper) and so on. Their principle of power generation is basically the same. Generation principle: the sun light in the semiconductor p-n junction, the formation of new hole electron pairs in the p-n junction, under the action of electric field, the hole flow from the n area of P District, electrons flow from the P area n area, connected to the circuit after the current form. Thats how the photovoltaic effect works. Two, solar cell materials development process, solar cell materials development process can be divided into the following three stages. The first generation of solar cell including: monocrystalline silicon solar cells and silicon solar cells, from 1954 to now the invention of monocrystalline silicon solar cells, silicon material is still the main material for solar battery currently accounts for about 90% of solar cell production. Second of the solar cell is: solar cell film materials based on thin film technology of materials required less than a crystal silicon solar cell, and is easy to realize large battery production, is a cost effective method, thin film batteries are mainly amorphous silicon thin film solar cells, thin film solar cell, cadmium telluride and copper indium selenide thin film solar cell. Third generation solar c
