Solar cells Photovoltaic is a renewable energy technology that converts the sunlight directly into electricity through a photovoltaic (PVs) cell, commonly called a solar cell. Basically, they are made from semiconductor material such as silicon, gallium arsenide, amorphous and many more semiconductors. Photovoltaic energy has become popular nowadays because of its ability to provide nearly permanent, uninterrupted power. What is more interesting, there is no operating cost. However, disadvantage lie in the low power per unit area of sunlight, which necessitates a large area of arrays. The performance of a photovoltaic array is dependent upon the intensity of the sunlight and also the material used for the solar cell device itself. Two main parameters in solar cell technology are the contact to the cell and the use of anti-reflective coating (ARCs), which are of capital importance in the improvement of the efficiency of semiconductor solar cells.
