In the beginning, there were solar panels which produced electricity as Direct Current. The same kind of electricity that you get out of batteries. To make that electricity useful for powering appliances or connecting to the grid, it was converted to Alternating Current (AC) using a big box of e...Read more »

Solar cell performance is determined by generation (of electron-hole pairs by the incident illumination) and recombination of electron-hole pairs. Efficiency is increased by increasing generation and decreasing recombination. This tutorial focussing on recombination losses in crystalline sili...Read more »
