1. Bifacial solar cells: A bifacial solar cell (BSC) is any photovoltaic solar cell that can produce electrical energy when illuminated on both its surfaces, front or rear. In contrast, monofacial solar cells produce electrical energy only when photons impinge on their front sides. (Physics) [100%] 2023-11-08 [Energy conversion] [Semiconductor devices]...
2. Theory of solar cells: The theory of solar cells explains the process by which light energy in photons is converted into electric current when the photons strike a suitable semiconductor device. The theoretical studies are of practical use because they predict the fundamental limits ... (Physics) [86%] 2023-07-25 [Solar cells] [Physical chemistry]...
3. Timeline of solar cells: In the 19th century, it was observed that the sunlight striking certain materials generates detectable electric current - the photoelectric effect. This discovery laid the foundation for solar cells. (Physics) [86%] 2023-01-26 [Solar cells]
4. List of types of solar cells: For description and history, see Solar cell A solar cell (also called photovoltaic cell or photoelectric cell) is a solid state electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect, which is a physical ...

5. Copper indium gallium selenide solar cells: A copper indium gallium selenide solar cell (or CIGS cell, sometimes CI(G)S or CIS cell) is a thin-film solar cell used to convert sunlight into electric power. It is manufactured by depositing a thin layer of copper ... (Physics) [70%] 2023-05-11 [Solar cells] [Photovoltaics]...
6. Polymer-fullerene bulk heterojunction solar cells: Polymer-fullerene bulk heterojunction solar cells are a type of solar cell researched in academic laboratories. Photovoltaic cells featuring a polymeric blend of organics have shown promise in a field largely dominated by inorganic (e.g. (Physics) [70%] 2023-04-07 [Solar cells] [Fullerenes]...
