Homework Statement Can someone give me an answer to the problem stated below I'm rather quite new to the area of solar... "Outline the process of producing the photovoltaic cell?" Thank You very much for answering!

From what i know my lecturer just told me to assume the Ultra 85-P as the solar cell we are looking for in the datasheet. But given only open-circuit voltage as 22.2V and short-circuit current = 5.45A are usable. Then how i should calculate question b)? Is it open-circuit voltage will be...

Yes! Thank you very much for answering just want to confirm my doubts... Given the pdf file found in this link --> https://www.physicsforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=41767&d=1323446524 I'm having trouble on how to solve question b)? If you do know how to solve it, do care to share with...

By the way can i ask you something a bit off topic to the question i post above? If a 36 solar cell (series connected) have the following open-circuit voltage of 22.2V. What makes the same 54 solar cell (series connected) open-circuit voltage = 33.3V? Does solar cell have the same principle of...

So is my question 1 correct? And the above explanation is targeted at my question 3 only right?

Homework Statement I'm a sort of a newbie student studying solar cell for 2 months and having my test next week, so I've in need of help here! 1) Identify the majority and minority carriers in p-type silicon with n-type silicon solar cell? 2) Explain the term diffusion and drift current? 3)...
