A solar cell (also called photovoltaic cell or photoelectric cell) is a solid state electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. Which is a physical and chemical phenomenon. It is a form of photoelectric cell, defined as a device whose electrical characteristics,such as current,voltage,or resistance,vary when exposed to light.
The following are the different types of solar cells.
· Amorphous Silicon solar cell (a-Si)
· Biohybrid solar cell
· Cadmium telluride solar cell (CdTe)
· Concentrated PV cell (CVP and HCVP)
· Copper indium gallium selenide solar cells (CI(G)S)
· Crystalline silicon solar cell (c-Si)
· Float-zone silicon
· Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC)
· Gallium arsenide germanium solar cell (GaAs)
· Hybrid solar cell
· Luminescent solar concentrator cell (LSC)
· Micromorph (tandem-cell using a-Si/μc-Si)
· Monocrystalline solar cell (mono-Si)
· Multi-junction solar cell (MJ)
· Nanocrystal solar cell
· Organic solar cell (OPV)
· Perovskite solar cell
· Photoelectrochemical cell (PEC)
· Plasmonic solar cell
· Polycrystalline solar cell (multi-Si)
· Quantum dot solar cell
· Solid-state solar cell
· Thin-film solar cell (TFSC)
· Wafer solar cell, or wafer-based solar cell crystalline
· Non concentrated hetrogeneos PV cell
