The two materials used for making solar cells are silicon and Cadmium Telluride.
EXPLANATION:
The 'solar cell' also known as 'photovoltaic cell' has the capability of converting ‘light energy’ into electricity. This is done by a mechanism known as ‘photovoltaic effect’. The 'electrical characteristics' of solar cells like 'current', 'resistance' and 'voltage' is varied when they are exposed to light.
Some other materials which used to make solar cells are Polycrystalline thin films, Copper Indium Diselenide, Gallium Arsenide etc.
