  • Page 22: Solar Battery

    Solar battery ● Mechanism of the solar battery The solar battery is made from materials called semiconductors (silicon, ger- manium, etc.). This battery has characteristics that electricity flows when a light falls on the battery. There are three types of semiconductors which are, a little different in their properties, respectively called p-type semiconductor , intrinsic semiconductor and n-type semiconductor .
  • Page 23 (1) When the battery receives a light energy, an electron jumps out of the intrinsic semiconductor, leaving a hole behind. Electron P-type hole semiconductors Intrinsic semiconductors N-type semiconductors Electron (2) The electron, which has jumped out of the intrinsic semiconductor, is pulled toward the n-type semi- conductor.
  • Page 24 ● Characteristics of the solar battery A silicon solar battery receives a light on its cell surface and takes out elec- tricity from the lead provided on the electrodes mounted respectively on the face and reverse. Irradiation of the light is called “ input of the light ”, while electric output that can be taken out is simply named “...
