K^thank you ever so much! I just ordered a book called Applied Photovoltaics third edition by Stewart R Wenham.I am gone to read it front to back in hopes to understand the subject of how the solar cell works. YOU HAVE GIVEN ME A VERY GOOD EDUCATION ON THIS SUBJECT! I am sure I will have...

Hello K^2 can you also please comment on posts #29 ,#30,#32 thanks

Thank you.can you tell me if the questions #1 through# 4 in post #29 are true or not.Also I believe the force field across the depletion zone which is free of charged carriers is were the voltage of the solar cell is established thanks ecvolt

Thank you again for hanging in there with me on this subject!It was extremely hard for me to find some one to talk to me about this subject so i am very gratefully for your time and Patience. One concept I am trying to grasp is What is creating the voltage on the solar cell to forward bias the...

OK then #1 each of the ten individual cells will have there own Il an ID? #2 When the ten cells are connected in series the cell with the least amount of iradiance will determine the amount of current flow in the CIRCUIT? #3 If cell number ten is completely shaded and cells 1 through 9 are not...

question#1 If cell number ten is shaded than Il would be zero for that cell is that correct ? question #2 What would be the Id for cell number ten ? question #3 Also if Il is zero for cell ten than Il would be zero for the other nine cells is that correct?Lets assume the cells are in a...

does the current flow in the diode have to do with the minority carriers through the pn depletion zone

would you happen to know were a electrical contractor such as myself could hire a on-line tutor for the subject we are talking about thanks ecvolt

I sent you a private message but it came back and said your box is full thanks ecvolt

OK if we have a closed circuit of solar cells in series with a inverter in the circuit would the inverter constitute the load in the circuit ?

OK I am getting there thanks to you! Could i contact you with my personal e mail address?

So we have two currents light generated current and diode current that are involved in the circuit ?Is the light current generated by the photons and is the diode current derived from voltage drop over the solar cell which is acting like a diode

when you said "that means that for both cells , Il-Id=10 ma" are you saying Il minus Id= 10ma. are you saying Il and Id =10ma thanks

When you said " Id is current through the diode.It's opposite in direction to light generated current" Are you referring to the fact that hole movement in a pn junction is in one direction and electron movement is in the opposite direction. Or are you referring to something else thanks ecvolt

OK due to Kirchoff laws of current the current in a series circuit is the same for solar cell one and solar cell 2 I got that part.Is it the resistance of the load that determines the current flow in the circuit or the lowest iradiance of the individual cells that determines the amount of...
