The power from the sun intercepted by the earth is approximately 1.8x10^11 MW Environmentally clean source of energy. Available in adequate quantities all over the world. Applications: -Water Heating -power generation -Space cooling and generation -Distillation -Drying -Cooking
Single crystal silicon are thin wafers about 0.0003 m in thickness, sliced from a single crystal p-type doped silicon. A shallow junction is formed at one end by diffusion of the n-type impurity. Metal electrode made from a Ti-Ag solder are attached to the front and back of the cell. On the front side the electrode is in the form of a metal grid with fingers which permit the sunlight to go through.
Coating of SiO having thickness of about 0.1 micro meter is put on the top surface. A typical cell develops a voltage of 0.5 to 1 v and a current density of 20-40 micro amperes/cm square. To obtain higher voltages and currents individual cells are kept side by side and connected in series or parallel to form a module.

Two important steps involved in working: - Creation of pairs of positive and negative charges. - Separation of positive and negative charges. For the first step to occur, the material of the cell should be able to absorb the energy associated with the photons of the sunlight. The electrons occupy one of two energy bands.
The difference between the energy levels of the electrons in he two bands called band gap energy. Photons having energy greater than Eg are absorbed in the cell material and excite some of the electrons. The electrons in the conduction band and the holes in the valence band are mobile. They can be separated and made to flow through an external circuit
