Photovoltaic Cell: Diagram, Construction, Working, Advantages

Photovoltaic Cell Working Principle. A photovoltaic cell works on the same principle as that of the diode, which is to allow the flow of electric current to flow in a single direction and resist the reversal of the same current, i.e, causing only forward bias current.; When light is incident on the surface of a cell, it consists of photons which are absorbed by the …

Applications of photovoltaics

Spacecraft were one of the earliest applications of photovoltaics, starting with the silicon solar cells used on the Vanguard 1 satellite, launched by the US in 1958. [32] Since then, solar power has been used on missions ranging from the MESSENGER probe to Mercury, to as far out in the solar system as the Juno probe to Jupiter.
