The sun is the most powerful, reliable energy source available on earth. As photovoltaic cells become more efficient, solar power is becoming a more realistic option for supplying our energy needs. Fill in the blanks in the sentences below about photovoltaic cells.
Photovoltaic cells (PVs) convert light energy into electrical energy. PVs are made from semiconductors. Two different types are layered - n-type semiconductors have extra electrons and p-type semiconductors need more electrons. Dopants such as gallium or arsenic are added to allow electrons to flow through the silicon semiconductor. When a photon with enough energy hits the PV, an "extra" electron is "knocked" from one layer into a "hole" in the other. The movement of electrons is an electrical current.
