THE BEHAVIOUR OF SOLAR CELLS
A silicon solar cell is a diode formed by joining p-type (typically boron doped) and n-type (typically phosphorous doped) silicon. Light shining on such a cell can behave in a number of ways, as illustrated in Fig. 3.1. To maximise the power rating of a solar cell, it must be designed so as to maximise desired absorption (3) and absorption after
