Have you ever wondered how a solar cell -- or photovoltaic cell, as it is properly named -- is made and how they operate? You have an opportunity to make one in this lab assignment. First, you should read information on solar cells. There is a good article about them on Wikipedia. Follow the link here to go to "Solar Cells." Then, follow this link to the UCLA Nanoscience page on about solar cells. Please study these sites before you come to class so you will know how the solar cell works.
After you complete the experiment, please write your report using the format that you have been taught. Also answer the "Discussion Questions" on the Nanoscience website.
