In this module, you will be introduced to the basics of P-N junctions, the characteristics of P-N junctions, and the effects of bias on P-N junctions. You will also be introduced to the Dark analysis of P-N junctions, the change in the curvature of the carrier density and the change in potential.

In this module, you will be introduced to a basic framework for determining I-V characteristics in light, and conditions of P-N junctions in three regions. You will also be introduced to P-N junction analysis in light, boundary conditions, combining current yields, photo-current and efficiency in special cases, device characteristics, and effects of irradiation.

In this module, you will be introduced to the circuit representation of solar cells, resistance in series, resistance variation, liming efficiency, and effect of bandgap. You will also be introduced to the requirements for an ideal P-V device, quantum efficiency, the discovery of photovoltaic effect, evolution of solar PV technologies, design considerations, how to improve light absorption, and reducing parasitic losses.
