  3. Electrode Reflect-Proof Film Solar Energy N-Type Semiconductor Load P-Type Semiconductor - Electric Current + - + Electrode - - + + Photo Voltaic cell 1-1-1. Mechanism of generation • Mechanism of generation The solar cell is composed of a P-type semiconductor and an N-type semiconductor. Solar light hitting the cell produces two types of electrons, negatively and positively charged electrons in the semiconductors. Negatively charged (-) electrons gather around the N-type semiconductor while positively charged (+) electrons gather around the P-type semiconductor. When you connect loads such as a light bulb, electric current flows between the two electrodes.

  4. P • By Solar Energy, current is pumped up from N-pole to P-pole. • In generation, current appears reverse. It is the same as for battery. N P Looks like reverse N 1-1-1. Mechanism of generation • Direction of current inside PV cell • Inside current of PV cell looks like “Reverse direction.” Why? ? Current appears to be in thereverse direction ?
