Theory of solar cells
The most commonly known solar cell is configured as a large-area p–n junction made from silicon. As a simplification, one can imagine bringing a layer of n-type silicon into direct contact with a layer of p-type silicon. n-type doping produces mobile electrons (leaving behind positively charged donors) while p-type doping produces mobile holes (and …
