These electrolytes can be categorized as liquid electrolytes, quasi-solid electrolytes, and solid-state conductors.
The striking power on a photovoltaic module is determined by the amount of power in the solar radiation and the angular position between the module and the sun rays (Scheme 1 ). When the energy-absorbing surface of the module and the sunlight are perpendicular to one another, the energy capacity is always at its peak.
The I–V curve of the solar cell is the linear combination of the I–V curve of the solar cell diode in the dark with the light-generated current. The light causes the I–V curve to move downward into the fourth quadrant, where power can be extracted from the diode. Enlightening a cell increases the diode's regular “dark” current.
