Photovoltaic Cell: Photovoltaic cells consist of two or more layers of semiconductors with one layer containing positive charge and the other negative charge lined adjacent to each other.; Sunlight, consisting of small packets of energy termed as photons, strikes the cell, where it is either reflected, transmitted or absorbed.
Principle: When light is absorbed by a photovoltaic cell, photons of light can transfer their energy to electrons, allowing the electrons to flow through the cell as electrical current. This current
