The photovoltaic effect

Voltage is generated in a solar cell by a process known as the "photovoltaic effect". The collection of light-generated carriers by the p-n junction causes a movement of electrons to the n-type side and holes to the p-type side of the junction. Under short circuit conditions, there is no build up of charge, as the carriers exit the device as light-generated current. However, if the …
