Multi-junction Photovoltaics

The ability for a single-junction photovoltaic to absorb light comes from the pn junction created by the semiconductor. The semiconductor creates a pn junction by the combination of both a p-type and an n-type semiconducting layers. The n-type semiconductor has extra electrons, while the p-type has an absence of electrons, which creates holes [2].

About Photovoltaic pn junction

About Photovoltaic pn junction

A solar cell (also known as a photovoltaic cell or PV cell) is defined as an electrical device that converts light energy into electrical energy.

When light photons reach the p-n junctionthrough the thin p-type layer, they supply enough energy to create multiple electron-hole pairs, initiating the conversion process.

A solar cell functions similarly to a junction diode, but its construction differs slightly from typical p-n junction diodes. A very thin layer of p-type semiconductor is grown on a relatively thicker n-type semiconductor. We then apply a few finer electrodeson the top.

As the photovoltaic (PV) industry continues to evolve, advancements in Photovoltaic pn junction have become critical to optimizing the utilization of renewable energy sources.
