WHAT DOES PHOTOELECTRIC CELL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

photoelectric cell

Solar cell

A solar cell is an electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. It is a form of photoelectric cell, defined as a device whose electrical characteristics—e.g. current, voltage, or resistance—vary when exposed to light. Cells can be described as photovoltaic even when the light source is not necessarily sunlight Photovoltaic cells are used as a photodetector, detecting light or other electromagnetic radiation near the visible range, or measuring light intensity. The operation of a photovoltaic cell requires 3 basic attributes: ▪ The absorption of light, generating either electron-hole pairs or excitons. ▪ The separation of charge carriers of opposite types. ▪ The separate extraction of those carriers to an external circuit. In contrast, a solar thermal collector supplies heat by absorbing sunlight, for the purpose of either direct heating or indirect electrical power generation from heat. A "photoelectrolytic cell", on the other hand, refers either to a type of photovoltaic cell, or to a device that splits water directly into hydrogen and oxygen using only solar illumination.
