Reverse Bias: In contrast, this biasing condition involves the connection of a negative voltage potential to the P-type material and a positive to the N-type material across the diode, thus increasing the width of the diode. Zero Bias: This is a bias condition in which there is no external voltage potential applied to the diode.

Introduction to Solar Cells

Solar cells are the electrical devices that directly convert solar energy (sunlight) into electric energy. This conversion is based on the principle of photovoltaic effect in which DC voltage is generated due to flow of electric current between two layers of semiconducting materials (having opposite conductivities) upon exposure to the sunlight [].
