Photovoltaic cells are devices that absorb the energy of photons and convert it into electricity. There are three types of photovoltaic cells: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin-film. A photovoltaic cell is made up of layers comprising the semiconductor layer, the conducting material layer, and the anti-reflection coating layer.
