Equations similar to (29) have been used with success to interpret various characteristics of p–i–n solar cells (see, for example ).
Conceptually, the operating principle of a solar cell can be summarized as follows. Sunlight is absorbed in a material in which electrons can have two energy levels, one low and one high. When light is absorbed, electrons transit from the low-energy level to the high-energy level.
