The wide substitution of conventional types of energy by solar energy lies in the rate of developing solar cell technology. Silicon is still the mostly used element for solar cell production, so efforts are directed to the improvement of physical properties of silicon structures. There are several trends in the development of solar cells, but mainly two directions are indicated: the improvement of the conventional solar cell characteristics based on semiconductor materials, and exploring the possibilities of using some new materials. The aim of this paper is to present some different approaches of improvement of solar cell properties through the investigation of radiation effects on the main solar cell characteristics.

This article aims to analyze students' understanding of the purpose of solar cell technology. Because the role of students is very important in developing one of the renewable energies that is solar cells. There are still many people who have not seen other benefits from the sun, as well as ways to use solar energy for other processes, such as the use of solar cells in households and so on. Most of humans have not seen other ways and benefits of solar energy. So that to socialize the use of solar cell technology, students need to understand how important solar energy is as a renewable energy and how to use it. The method used in this study used quantitative descriptive, with the sample of 2019 class of physics education students.Keywords: Solar cell, Environment, Renewable.


Solar cells have emerged as a substitute for fuels, generating energy which is both renewable and pollution-free at reasonable prices. On the commercial scale, the silicon-based solar cells are still being used despite their efficiency decreasing over time. With the advancement in technology, efforts are being made to develop new materials for solar cells with higher efficiency and stability. The development of materials such as multijunctions, ultrathin films, quantum dots, dye sensitized materials, and perovskites has opened a new dimension to the solar cell technology. These are often referred to as next-generation materials for solar cell technology. In this chapter, an effort has been made to address the various issues these new generation solar technologies face and why there is a need to search for various new materials in order to improve and make these technologies commercially viable.

In 2006, around 86% of all wafer-based silicon solar cells were produced using screen printing to form the silver front and aluminium rear contacts and chemical vapour deposition to grow silicon nitride as the antireflection coating onto the front surface. This paper reviews this dominant solar cell technology looking into state-of-the-art equipment and corresponding processes for each process step. The main efficiency losses of this type of solar cell are analyzed to demonstrate the future efficiency potential of this technology. In research and development, more various advanced solar cell concepts have demonstrated higher efficiencies. The question which arises is “why are new solar cell concepts not transferred into industrial production more frequently?”. We look into the requirements a new solar cell technology has to fulfill to have an advantage over the current approach. Finally, we give an overview of high-efficiency concepts which have already been transferred into industrial production.

This article aim to be able to take advantage of an electric motor as a net puller on a fishing boat using solar energy. The use of human labor as a net puller requires a large amount of energy and needs a break to be able to do more withdrawal activities, so the number of withdrawals that can be done is very limited. Pantai Jaya fishing groups as partners are among the 20 active fishing groups in the Pasie Nan Tigo sub-district of Koto Tangah subdistrict of Padang City who experience these problems. The problem of this partner can be given a solution in the form of the use of an electric motor as a towing net on a fishing boat. In order not to cause problems in terms of electricity supply, solar energy can be used by using solar cells, so there is no addition of fuel oil. The implementation method given is direct installation and provision of extension materials on the use of solar cell technology and the introduction of components and hand tools. This activity was carried out for two days which included preparation, installation and training, followed by a group of fishermen. The fishing group received a set of solar cells, electric motors, batteries and other accessories and installed them. Based on tests that have been carried out in sunny weather conditions at 300C, a load of 50 kg with a rated voltage at that time 12.4V, motor speed 2.7m / min, 2.4A. Based on the results of these tests indicate that the solar cell system has worked according to the parameters it should. Therefore, it can be said that this activity has been carried out properly and the solar cell system is functioning properly. Participants hope for these activities to be carried out for the following year, because there are still a number of fishing boat groups that are in dire need.
