A typical single solar cell produces about how much voltage?
A0.5 to 1 volt
B5 to 10 volts
C50 volts
D220 volts
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 0.5 to 1 volt
1. A silicon solar cell's open-circuit voltage depends on the band gap.
2. For commercial silicon cells this is about 0.5 to 1 volt.
3. To get higher voltages, many cells are wired in series to form a panel.
4. So a single cell gives only 0.5 to 1 V.
5. Current depends on cell area and incident sunlight.
