Solar Cell Radiation Detector

The sq 110 sensor specifically calibrated for the detection of solar radiation provides at its output a voltage proportional to the intensity of the light in the visible range of the spectrum a key parameter in photosynthesis processes.

Solar cell radiation detector.

It presents a maximum output of 400mv under maximum radiation conditions and a sensitivity of 5 00μmol m. Individual solar cell devices are often the. Solar cell any device that directly converts the energy of light into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. The majority of solar cells are fabricated from silicon with increasing efficiency and lowering cost as the materials range from amorphous to polycrystalline to crystalline silicon forms.

This form of detection operates via photoionization a process where ionizing radiation strikes an atom and releases a free electron. It is a form of photoelectric cell defined as a device whose electrical characteristics such as current voltage or resistance vary when exposed to light. Silicon pn solar cells. If shad is added it can test the scattered radiation.

It was demonstrated in the 1960s that silicon pn solar cells are suitable for detection of all forms of ionizing radiation including extreme uv soft x rays and hard x rays. If the sensing face is downwards it can test the reflected radiation and solar radiation on the incident to the inclined plane. A solar cell or photovoltaic cell is an electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect which is a physical and chemical phenomenon.
