Question

How are solar cells made from the semiconductors?
***Simple Answer***

Answer 1

The basic component of a solar cell is pure silicon, which is not pure in its natural state. ... The resulting pure silicon is then doped (treated with) with phosphorous and boron to produce an excess of electrons and a deficiency of electrons respectively to make a semiconductor capable of conducting electricity.

Answer 2

In the solar cells, the photovoltaic cells are the major components.

These silicon cells help in converting the light so that it can be used for the household purpose.

Since selenium is extremely sensitive when put under sunlight, it is doped with another matter to use it for solar energy storage.
