The type of semiconductor is used in solar cell are n-type semiconductor and p-type semiconductor.

A Solar Cell :

  • Commonly referred to as a photovoltaic cell or PV cell
  • A type of electrical device that uses the photovoltaic effect to transform light energy into electrical energy.
  • A p-n junction diode is essentially what a solar cell is.

Layers of two different semiconductor kinds are required for a solar cell.

1. A very little amount of an element with an additional valence electron is doped into the n-type semiconductor (such crystalline Si doped with As).

2. An element with less valence electrons is doped into the p-type semiconductor (such as crystalline Si doped with Ga).

Whereas, the most widely used semiconductors in the production of solar cells are:

  1. SILICON
  2. GERMANIUM
