Solar Cells
7/24/2008
“A solar cell or photovoltaic
cell is a wide area electronic device that converts solar energy into
electricity by the photovoltaic effect. Photovoltaics is the field of technology
and research related to the application of solar cells as solar energy.
Sometimes the term solar cell is reserved for devices intended
specifically to capture energy from sunlight, while the term photovoltaic
cell is used when the source is unspecified. Assemblies of cells are used to
make solar modules, or photovoltaic arrays.”

Notes
“Solar cells have many applications. Cells are used for powering small
devices such as electronic calculators. Photovoltaic arrays generate a form of
renewable electricity, particularly useful in situations where electrical power
from the grid is unavailable such as in remote area power systems,
Earth-orbiting satellites and space probes, remote radiotelephones and water
pumping applications. Photovoltaic electricity is also increasingly deployed in
grid-tied electrical systems. Similar devices intended to capture energy from
other sources include thermophotovoltaic cells, betavoltaics cells, and
optoelectric nuclear batteries.”
