photovoltaic material
1Photovoltaic module — In the field of photovoltaics, a photovoltaic module is a packaged interconnected assembly of photovoltaic cells, also known as solar cells. An installation of photovoltaic modules or panels is known as a photovoltaic array or a solar panel.… …
2photovoltaic effect — noun the conversion of electromagnetic radiation into electric power through absorption by a semiconducting material …
3photovoltaic — pho•to•vol•ta•ic [[t]ˌfoʊ toʊ vɒlˈteɪ ɪk, voʊl [/t]] adj. elm of or pertaining to a material or device in which electricity is generated as a result of exposure to light • Etymology: 1920–25 …
4Ribbon (Photovoltaic) Cells — A type of solar photovoltaic device made in a continuous process of pulling material from a molten bath of photovoltaic material, such as silicon, to form a thin sheet of material …
5Multijunction photovoltaic cell — Multi junction solar cells or tandem cells are solar cells containing several p n junctions. Each junction is tuned to a different wavelength of light, reducing one of the largest inherent sources of losses, and thereby increasing efficiency.… …
6Organic photovoltaic — cells are solar cells made mostly of organic molecules. Specifically, the active layer of the device is made of organic material.Many scientists and engineers believe organic solar cells will provide a cheaper alternative to traditional inorganic …
7Anomalous photovoltaic effect — The anomalous photovoltaic effect (APE) is a type of a photovoltaic effect which occurs in semiconducting materials. The anomalous refers to those cases where the photovoltage is larger than the band gap of the corresponding semiconductor.This… …
