The dependency of the band gap of the solar perovskites photovoltaic CsXCl3 (X = Sn, Pb or Ge) is illustrated as a function of the lattice parameter ''a'' (Å). It is found that when increasing the lattice parameter the band gap increases for all the materials: CsSnCl3, CsPbCl3 and CsGeCl3. In addition, for a fixed value of the lattice parameter ''a'' the band gap increases

Lead-free perovskites are among compounds that are currently most investigated for their potential application in photovoltaic due to their non-toxic effect on the environment. In this paper, we are studying the hybrid organic–inorganic lead-free perovskite FASiI3. The material has been examined using the density functional theory (DFT) and the
The maximum power in STC is the most used value in the solar energy market in the Philippines, as when they talk about the "size" of a photovoltaic panel, which is formed by a set of plates.. For example, if a website or vendor states that the solar panel is 2.38 kilowatt-peak (), and it is composed of 7 modules, that means that each plate has a Pmax at STC of 340Wp

The photovoltaic effect is used by the photovoltaic cells (PV) to convert energy received from the solar radiation directly in to electrical energy [3].The union of two semiconductor regions presents the architecture of PV cells in Fig. 1, these semiconductors can be of p-type (materials with an excess of holes, called positive charges) or n-type (materials with excess of
Photovoltaic cells are semiconductor devices that can generate electrical energy based on energy of light that they absorb.They are also often called solar cells because their primary use is to generate electricity specifically from sunlight,

In the late 1700s and 1800s, researchers and scientists had success using sunlight to power ovens for long voyages. They also harnessed the power of the sun to produce solar-powered steamboats. Ultimately, it's clear that even thousands of years before the era of solar panels, the concept of manipulating the power of the sun was a common practice.

In 1883, American inventor Charles Fritts took the first steps towards practical solar power by constructing a photovoltaic cell using selenium coated with a thin layer of gold. This cell, considered rudimentary by today’s standards, had a conversion efficiency of around 1-2%, a significant starting point given the limited technology of the time.
