About

    Solar cell technology involves the study and development of devices that convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. These devices, known as solar cells or photovoltaic cells, are typically made from semiconductor materials such as silicon. When sunlight interacts with the semiconductor material, it generates an electric current that can be used to power homes, buildings, and other applications. Researchers in this field are constantly working to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of solar cells, as well as to develop new materials and technologies that can enhance their performance. Advances in solar cell technology have made it a promising and increasingly viable source of renewable energy, with the potential to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate climate change.
