Originally Answered: What is the difference between a photodiode and a solar cell?
In terms of working principles, there is none.
The difference appears in the specialized design and operation of the concrete practical devices.
The actual devices called “photodiodes” are usually intended to work as sensors or receivers, i.e. to convert light into signal (without regard to whether they make any of the light’s energycontent available to the circuit they’re in). They are therefore optimized for sensitivity and/or speed: often small, often having a so-called p–i–n junction or other response-time-enhancing tweaks, often used with negative bias. Furthermore, they may use particular materials in order to be particularly or only sensitive to certain wavelengths.
The devices called “solar cells” or “photovoltaic devices” are meant as power sources, i.e. to convert light into power (without any regard to speed). They are therefore designed for maximum power yield: with a large area, avoiding unnecessary exclusion of any wavelength where sunlight carries a meaningful amount of energy, and used with zero bias.
