Question:
What range of energy band gap is semiconductor is suitable for using in solar cells
Answer:
An important key for obtaining an efficient solar cell is to minimize the heat losses due to the thermalization by choosing semiconductors with appropriate band gaps. Thus, for solar cells, the most effective materials for solar energy conversion have band gap energies in the range of 1.0 to 1.8 eV.
