Photovoltaic (Solar Cell) Current To Voltage Converter

The simplest I to V converter is the humble resistor. However, presenting a nonzero impedance to the source of input current is the disadvantage of the humble resistor. If the device providing the input current has very little compliance or does not produce a constant current as the output voltages changes, this can be fatal. A photovoltaic cell is a […]

Photocells (Photoconductive, Photodiode, and Photovoltaic) Amplifiers

The figures below show us about amplifiers for photoconductive (top),  photodiode (mid) and photovoltaic cells (bottom). Some voltage dependence of both speed and linearity is displayed by all photogenerators. If the cell terminal voltage is allowed to vary with cell conductance, the current through a photoconductive cell will not display strict proportionality to incident light. Functions of terminal voltages are […]
