This paper discusses a low-cost laboratory experiment that will generate the I-V curve of solar cells that can be used in a curriculum. This experiment uses a low-cost data acquisition system, the LabVIEW program, and a current sink circuit made of discrete components.
Connect the solar cell with the electric motor and a DMM to measure current. Record the solar cell current and observe the turn speed of the propeller of the electric motor. Without changing the desk lamp and solar cell distance, cover the solar cell with a blue filter.
Therefore, the spectral nature of sunlight is a fundamental aspect affecting the design of efficient solar cells. The solar cell is the photovoltaic’s building block. Usually, it is made of a 100 cm2 silicon wafer whose surface has been treated to maximize light absorption and thus appears dark blue or black.

The criteria for Materials to be Used in Solar Cell is the material must have band gap from 1ev to 1.8ev, it must have high optical absorption and it must have high electrical conductivity. ##Diagram The efficiency of a solar cell is determined as the fraction of incident power which is converted to electricity and is defined as:
The I-V curve can be generated using a voltmeter, ammeter, and a variable resistive load.2 The load can be used to vary the current drawn from a solar cell in steps. The voltage across the solar cell is measured at each step. The curve is difficult to generate by this method because of the number of data points required to generate a smooth curve.
