Properties of solar cells - dependence on the illuminance

Product No: P1374000

Principle

Solar cells play a substantial role in the development of alternative, non-fossil sources of energy. They convert light energy directly into electrical energy. 

In this experiment, the influence of the illumination on the short-circuit current and the open-circuit voltage is examined. The illumination can be changed by altering the distance between the solar cell and the light source or by varying the angle of incident light.

Task

How does the illumination influence the behaviour of the solar cell?

Examine the influence of the illumination on the short-circuit current and the open-circuit voltage of a solar cell.
