OverviewMaterialsApplicationsHistoryDeclining costs and exponential capacity growthTheoryEfficiencyResearch in solar cells

Solar cells are typically named after the semiconducting material of which they are composed. These materials have varying characteristics to absorb optimal available sunlight spectrum. Some cells are designed to handle sunlight that reaches the Earth''s surface, while others are optimized for use in space. Solar cells can be made of a single layer of light-absorbing material (single-junction) or use multiple physical confi
