Abstract
Solar cells are photovoltaic devices that convert the photons of sunlight into electrical power. Although at least several hundred materials systems, including combinations of semiconductors, metals. oxides, electrolyte solutions. and organic molecules and polymers have been considered for solar cells, the vast majority of all commercial solar cells are made from silicon. The newcomer to this field should be aware that there are several forms of silicon used for semiconductor and photovoltaic applications...
