How a Solar Cell Works

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their outer energy level than does silicon. Because boron has one less electron than is required to form the bonds with the surrounding silicon atoms, an electron …

Mechanical fatigue life analysis of solar panels under cyclic load ...

From manufacturing to field operation, photovoltaic modules are subject to dynamic loads. Cyclic load produces dynamic bending moments with tensile and compressive stresses within the solar cells and interconnects. This often leads to fatigue of solar cell interconnects, cell crack initiation, and worsening of pre-existing cracks …
