Types of Solar Cell, Efficiencies and Ratings
Rating of solar cell :
Each solar cell generates 0.5 to 1 volt D.C supply. Current density is between 20 to 40 A / mm² I.e. 0.8 Amp.
Types of solar cells and their efficiencies :
- Monocrystalline solar cells (10 to 17%),
- Polycrystalline solar cells (10 to 13%),
- Amorphous solar cells (7 to 10%),
- Hybrid solar cells (18 to 30%),
- Dye-sensitized type (7 to 8%),
- Organic thin layer type (2 to 3%).
