Spacecraft and Satellites: Solar cells are a primary power source for spacecraft and satellites, operating reliably in the vacuum of space to support various functions and scientific missions. Transportation: Solar cells can be integrated into electric vehicles (EVs) to help charge batteries and extend the vehicle's range.
The diverse applications of solar cells underscore their potential to reshape energy systems, drive environmental sustainability, and enhance resilience in various sectors worldwide. Solar cell is a device which converts solar energy into electrical energy without using any chemicals or moving parts.
The construction of a solar cell is very simple. A thin p-type semiconductor layer is deposited on top of a thick n-type layer. Electrodes from both the layers are developed for making contacts. A thin electrode on the top of the p-type semiconductor layer is formed. This electrode does not obstruct light to reach the thin p-type layer.
The input power for efficiency calculations is 1 kW/m 2 or 100 mW/cm 2. Thus, the input power for a 100 × 100 mm 2 cell is 10 W and for a 156 × 156 mm 2 cell is 24.3 W. The output resistance of a solar cell at its MPP is called its characteristic resistance (RCH).
The sunlight fall on a solar panel mounted on the roof of a house, top of a street light, top of a car, etc. The solar cells in the panel convert light into electricity, and this electricity is then use to run vehicle, light street lamps, run TV, and water geysers. . A simple solar panel used in day-to-day life is shown in Fig. 1.11.
