Photovoltaics:The Science Behind the Solar Panel and Solar Energy?
|
|
| |
 |
|
| |
The word photovoltaic comes from the combination of "photo" meaning light, and voltaic meaning electricity produced by a chemical reaction.
The word has been defined as the generation of sun light to produce electricity through semi-conduction with materials.
Electrons are emitted from the sun to the earth. When these electrons are set free by the semi-conduction with a material such as silicon or selenium. The energy is in the electons are then released in electric DC form.

The History of Photovoltaics

The early years of photovoltaics and birth of solar energy.
- 1839: Photovoltaics was first discovered by a 19 year old experimenting physicist from France, Edmund Becquerel. Since his work was strictly experimental and only breached upon the photovoltaic effect, a number of scientists followed with more advanced studies. It was in the next twenty years that selenium was used as a semi-conductor experimentally.(U.S. Department of Energy, 2004 )
- 1918: The second major step in the science of advancement of photovoltaic technology was the development of single crystal silicon growth by a polish scientist, Jan Czochralski(Wikipedia, 2004).
- 1923: Albert Einstein is awarded the Noble Prize for his work explaining photoelectric effect(US Dept. of Energy, 2004).
- 1954: Bell Labs reports the first discovery of 4.5% silicon
