Description

A solar cell, also known as a photovoltaic cell, is a laboratory apparatus that converts light energy into electrical energy using the photovoltaic effect. It is made of semiconductor materials, such as silicon, which absorb photons of light and release electrons, creating an electrical current.

Solar cells are commonly used in laboratory settings to generate electricity for various applications, including powering small electronic devices and measuring instruments. They are also used in solar panels to generate electricity for larger applications, such as powering homes and buildings.

In addition to their use in laboratory settings, solar cells are an important technology for renewable energy, as they can generate electricity from the sun’s rays without producing any emissions or pollution.
