6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic cell wavelength]

What is the wavelength of a solar cell?

The wavelengths of visible light occur between 400 and 700 nm, so the bandwidth wavelength for silicon solar cells is in the very near infrared range. Any radiation with a longer wavelength, such as microwaves and radio waves, lacks the energy to produce electricity from a solar cell.

Are photovoltaic cells sensitive to sunlight?

Photovoltaic cells are sensitive to incident sunlight with a wavelength above the band gap wavelength of the semiconducting material used manufacture them. Most cells are made from silicon. The solar cell wavelength for silicon is 1,110 nanometers. That's in the near infrared part of the spectrum.

How many nanometers does a photovoltaic cell have?

Visible light waves measure between 400 and 700 nanometers, although the sun's spectrum also includes shorter ultraviolet waves and longer waves of infrared. A photovoltaic cell responds selectively to light wavelengths. Those much longer than 700 nanometers lack the energy to affect the cell and simply pass through it.

How does a photovoltaic cell convert light?

The photovoltaic cell doesn't convert all the light, even if it's at the right wavelength. Some of the energy becomes heat, and some reflects off the cell's surface. If you carefully plot a solar cell's output energy against the wavelength of incoming light, your graph will show a response curve that begins at about 300 nanometers.

How does light affect a photovoltaic cell?

Light causes the charges to move, producing an electric current. Materials containing different impurities change the wavelengths at which the cell responds in different ways. The photovoltaic cell doesn't convert all the light, even if it's at the right wavelength. Some of the energy becomes heat, and some reflects off the cell's surface.

How does a photovoltaic cell respond to light?

A photovoltaic cell responds selectively to light wavelengths. Those much longer than 700 nanometers lack the energy to affect the cell and simply pass through it. Very short wavelengths, such as X-rays, pass through the cell because their energy is too high to be absorbed.
