OverviewMaterialsApplicationsHistoryDeclining costs and exponential growthTheoryEfficiencyResearch in solar cells
Solar cells are typically named after the semiconducting material they are made of. These materials must have certain characteristics in order to absorb sunlight. Some cells are designed to handle sunlight that reaches the Earth''s surface, while others are optimized for use in space. Solar cells can be made of a single layer of light-absorbing material (single-junction) or use multiple physical confi…
