The crystalline silicon solar cell was one of the first types to be developed and it is still the
most
common type in use today. They do not pollute the atmosphere and they leave behind no
harmful
waste products. Photovoltaic cells work effectively even in cloudy weather and unlike
solar
heaters, are more efficient at low temperatures. They do their job silently and there are no
moving parts to wear out. It is no wonder that one marvels on how such a device would
function.
To understand how a solar cell…
