A photocell is a resistor that changes resistance depending on the amount of light incident on it. A photocell operates on semiconductor photoconductivity: the energy of photons hitting the semiconductor frees electrons to flow, decreasing the resistance. An example photocell is the Advanced Photonix PDV-P5002, shown in Figure 21.2.
The soldering of cells to the stringing ribbon is carried out by a tabbing machine (using infrared) or by a soldering iron. In the second stage, the photocell clusters are soldered to a “bus ribbon” that carries electric current to the output of the module.
In some cases, it is possible to bypass a photocell when needed. Bypassing the photocell allows the luminaire to remain continuously on or be controlled by an existing switch or timer. The method of bypassing depends on the type of photocell and how it is installed in the fixture.
The ideal design of the photocell and photoreactor is such that the PE has a maximum exposure to light. The requirement for product gases management and ion movement also affect the design consideration. In most case for bench scale testing, a vessel with optical window that can fit all the electrodes and electrolyte is sufficient.
Bypassing the photocell allows the luminaire to remain continuously on or be controlled by an existing switch or timer. The method of bypassing depends on the type of photocell and how it is installed in the fixture. Common bypass options include using a shorting cap, a slide or DIP switch, or disconnecting the wiring of the photocell.
Figure 1 is a cutaway view of a typical photocell showing the pattern of photoconductive material deposited in the serpentine slot separating the two electrodes that have been formed on a ceramic insulating substrate. This pattern maximizes contact between the crystalline photoconductive material and the adjacent metal electrodes.
