This course constitutes a continuation of the acquired knowledge related to electronic components applied to solar cells. It addresses the fundamental principles of photon–electron conversion in semiconductor materials. The concept of the ideal solar cell is introduced in order to establish the maximum theoretical performance. The operation of the semiconductor photodiode is examined as a physical model of the photovoltaic cell. Finally, the course discusses the organization of photovoltaic modules and photovoltaic arrays for electrical energy generation.
