Difference between Photovoltaics and Theory of solar cells

Photovoltaics vs. Theory of solar cells

Photovoltaics (PV) is a term which covers the conversion of light into electricity using semiconducting materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect, a phenomenon studied in physics, photochemistry, and electrochemistry. The theory of solar cells explains the process by which light energy in photons is converted into electric current when the photons strike a suitable semiconductor device.

Similarities between Photovoltaics and Theory of solar cells

Photovoltaics and Theory of solar cells have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Band gap, Boron, Earth, Light-emitting diode, Nominal power (photovoltaic), Solar cell, Thin-film solar cell, Volt.

Band gap

In solid-state physics, a band gap, also called an energy gap or bandgap, is an energy range in a solid where no electron states can exist.

Nominal power (photovoltaic)

The nominal power is the nameplate capacity of photovoltaic (PV) devices, such as solar cells, panels and systems, and is determined by measuring the electric current and voltage in a circuit, while varying the resistance under precisely defined conditions.

Solar cell

A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell, is an electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect, which is a physical and chemical phenomenon.

Thin-film solar cell

A thin-film solar cell is a second generation solar cell that is made by depositing one or more thin layers, or thin film (TF) of photovoltaic material on a substrate, such as glass, plastic or metal.
